the cable routing is the easy part.
and (hard to tell from the post) if you want to rig it up as a Top Pull... that ain't happenin'

I've looked at a couple of videos and have read the dealer's manual but the cable threading around that black plastic cover and dealing with those grey lines is a big change in design over earlier Shimano designs - don't know how you can say it's the easy part unless you're a professional bike mechanic and can naturally figure it out .
