Need a little tech help with throttle cable?

[CHINA-RIDER]

What the title says, got a 1/4 need to cut the outside off the cable so I got more play is there a easy way to remove the metal twisted covering?

As I accidently ruined my cable when I slipped and freyed it.


If there is already a thread on this could you point me in the right direction, thanks again guys/girls.

I had this problem once bought a wrong
cable I got the grinder onto it just take your time and get it right was my way
it wasn't a fun quick job lol

 

[CHINA-RIDER]

yeah I guess its just going to be one of those fiddly prick of a job with no easy fix

Cut the black casing down with a stanley knife and then you'll see where youneed to grind after grinding the piece I got 2 sets of plyers and untangled the windy metal crap lol

Will give it a try when my new cable arives, thanks jake.

I will probly use the dremel to cut it then just with untangle pliers .

you can cut the metal twisting with side cutters

yeah tried that the first time and not much luck so I used a dremal and a vice + good eyes.

 

[kidxf168]

[CHINA-RIDER]

The dremal worked awesome just had to be carefull
