If you notice any of these symptoms, replace the cable before it fails.
Tools You’ll Need
- Genuine clutch or brake cable
- Spanner or wrench
- Pliers

How to Replace the Cable
- Remove the damaged cable from the brake or clutch lever.
- Loosen the adjustment nut and disconnect the cable.
- Carefully remove the cable by following its original routing.
- Install the new cable along the same path.
