Trying to replace cables on sons project car.68 bug. Could not get the cable threaded end out of the tube, its like the threaded part is too long to make the turn at the rear end of the tube, ended up pushing the cable back in and cutting off the threaded end at the handle, then pulled the cable out easily. Can't get the new one to go in the tube. there is no way that 3 inch long threaded piece will make that 90 degree turn into the tunnel. Obviously somebody got one in there at some point, probably in Germany, but I can't do it. I did run a "fish tape' up into the tube with no problems it has an eye hook on the end about half as long as the threaded part of the brake cable, same diameter more or less.
Anybody have any ideas or experience with this? any help will be appreciated...
