What to do when you snap a cable

It's extremely satisfying to fix mechanical issues - more power!
Hehe anyway, earlier today I heard the dreadful *snap, klunk and slack* of the breaking of a cable.
To recap, I have an AVL but this how to should help others too.
Step 1 : Don't panic!
Step 2 : ok don't panic so long as you have -
Replacement cable
Crimper or swager tool
Fine wire cutters or hacksaw
Crimps or swages
Step 3 : measure the length of the broken wire (take off about 1cm for the stretch and break) from swage to swage.


Then measure the loopy bit (I cut my eyelet out but cutting the wire on one side) and add both to the first measurement.


Step 4 : cut the wire.


Step 5 : thread the new wire through one side of the swage.


Loop through anything it needs to be attached to.


Down through the other side of the swage.


And tighten the wire.


Step 6 : use your crimper tool (thanks Belly!!) to squash the swage securely. (The round bits at the top and bottom)


I thought I had decent arm strength but putting it on the floor with your foot on it is much easier.


Also my crimping tool is narrow so I needed to crimp twice.


Finished!


And the other end (a better job than the first!).


Done!


Step 7 : placing back on the loom. Around the wheely thing in the box. Needs a bit of a gentle ease in.


Into the clippy thing.


The other end goes down the appropriate looking hole.


Join back onto the turn buckle.


Important! Adjust the turnbuckle to make sure the peddle height is correct.


Step 8 : happy weaving ensues!
