I'm replacing broken nylon ball plungers in the Joystick controller, using a kit with the steel ball replacements. Seat is off. 3-point lever bracket is off. Joystick control block is dropped down in front of the rear tire. So far so good. But...
How exactly do ya remove the control cables? They're rather rigid. Loosening them twists the entire sheath which is fixed at the control valve. I could put enough force on them to get them free, but then how would I reattach them? Are they supposed to be loosened at the other end (where they attach to the control valve) to spin freely? That doesn't seem likely.
What am I missing in observation and/or technique with control cable handling?
Thanx --

Thanks for the welcome, Coyote Machine. I searched the forums before adding this thread, but didn't find information on this very specific issue - how to screw/unscrew a semi-rigid cable that's fixed at its other end. How much force is reasonable, work sequence, how to avoid damaging a cable, etc. Folks just say "Removed cable..." or "Screwed cable back in..." Which is fine, except I never got my Cable Handling badge in Tractor Scouts :tractor:
Thanx, again.
