emergency brake cable replacement
Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2017 12:20 pm
I have a buggered up EBrake cable that needed replacement. I took the old one out but had problems removing the threaded end right at the elbow where it leaves the tunnel in the rear. So i cut the cable and pulled it out from the front.
So now i go to install the new cable and the threaded end will not feed through to the front.
Cleaned it, reamed it, drilled on it, even made a flexible cutting edge with the old cable. No help
I took the old cable again and this time began to slowly shorten the threaded end on my grinder to make it short enough to go around a tight corner. It's moving further in, but not by much.
Any tips
How in creation did they get it into the EBrake cable tube at the factory?!
