Hi all,
instead of replacing the whole bowden cable (costly and time consuming) I am wondering rather to fix the bowden cable. Means I was thinking to increase the length of the outer cable housing cause it is just a bowden cable, right? My idea was to take off the lower a-piller trim, where the bowden cable is mounted to and add a "spring washer" to increase length of the outer bowden cable. Sorry, for my bad English - Does this explanation make sense?
What do you think?
regards
Thomas
I spend 20 minutes with flashlight and phone camera trying to find the clip and I failed.
Then I went on youtube and the guy did show removed handle, without showing how he did it. He claimed to use pick to pull the clip, so next 1/2 hr I was bending my body in the space, trying to pull it with pick, but the clip hold too hard and after scratching the clip with pick, I did not succeed.
Finally 90 degree needle nose pliers did the trick.
Mind all the job has to be done by touch as you can't see it.
After putting extra washer, I could not pull the handle enough to insert the clip, so guess what? The handle and clip rest in my door pocket.
I still wonder why $50 bicycles can have cable adjusters and $80,000 Land Rover not?
