Bottom moving deck cable
Is there an easy way to change the bottom moving deck cable? Is there anything I need to look out for? Am I able to take the plate off and unwind the cable? Always confuses me. Thank you.Tags: None

By the way; if you have to replace one cable, your best bet is to replace all 3 cables. If one cable is bad, the others will follow very soon. Do all three at once and be done.

If the cable is not broken just removing and replacing the cable x pin washer at 0 is sometimes easiar and do the rest as explained above.formerly dunsel

I've found it easier to remove the X washer from the pin at 0 degrees. And I also find it easier to remove the long flat head screw at 0, the one that holds the front of the cable tube assy. to the bottom pulleys shaft. There sometimes is barely room to get that thing out when the deck is down at 270. Then I run it to around 300 to finish the removal. I do remove the geneva plate on LH side. Makes it easier to get to the pin and get new cable on the pulley.It is wiser to find out than suppose.--Mark Twain

I don't remove the tube assembly anymore. I bend the bottom where the keeper spring sits so the tube is open more(large screwdriver is good) and then pull the old cable through but make sure you crush the cable end BEFORE pulling it through,it may get hung up,same when installing it,crush the new end a but(doesn't take much ya just want the end a bit smaller) and then snake it through the larger opening made by bending the tube open more.Once through to the rear pulley,open up the cable end with a large phillips screwdriver or pliers handle and attach to pulley.
When done,just reshape the tube and your done.
Much faster-easier to me.Done at 270(spotting pins).

Here is a super easy way of threading the lower deck cable through the cable tube.
1. find a length of stiff wire, such as from a wire coat hanger, piano or hobby wire. Cut it into a length slightly (5 inches) longer than the cable tube.
2. bend a small hook into one end
3. thread the hooked end into the cable tube, from back to front.
4. hook the eye end of the deck cable to the wire hook
5. PULL the cable through the tube. The job takes about ten seconds to do it.
