depending on whats in the way and what type of cable they are but i usually lever the gearbox end to the depressed position then wedge it and remove the cable from that end then just un hook it from the peddle and refit in the reverse order

On a astra its not too bad, I did one recently on my R reg Astravan.
I don't know how easy it is to get off the gearbox as mine snapped. Anyway the hardest part is getting it released from the top of the pedal. Especially if the pedal has seized on the mounting bar meaning you can't remove it.
There is a spring holding the cable on, once you release this its easy to unhook the cable. If you have a diesel car it helps to unbolt the fuel filter from the bulkhead and move it aside so you can get the bulkhead grommit out.
To refit as I recall you push the cable through from the engine compartment, refit it to the pedal and then screw on the adjuster bit for the gearbox end.
The fiddly part is getting the cable off the pedal.
A haynes manual will help.
