make certain the shifter is in the relaxed position by clicking the shifter until the indicator moves to the 7 or 8 position, whichever is the highest number...
Now the cable SHOULD slip through the hole in the Reel towards the Adjuster... now.. REMOVE THE ADJUSTER..(There is a SPRING INSIDE! Be ready!) they are a serious pain to thread a cable through... push the cable through where the adjuster was... now pull the cable through the reel until the lead barrel seats into the reel... DO NOT Kink the cable... Any kinks WILL cause problems with shifting!
now, slip the adjuster, spring, and grip deely backup the cable to the shifter and re-thread it into the Shifter body.
