dunfire Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 11/06/04 Posts: 123 Loc: Palm Harbor, FL	This may seem like a dumb question, I got replacement knobs for my choke and throttle cables for my 36 GMC. How much force is required to remove the old knobs? I have tried with pliers but I don't want to destroy the cable. _________________________ 1936 GMC T-14 low cab

It is not a problem however, just pull the inner wire back past the point you want to cut the casing and then do so. _________________________ RAY Member Chat Group - Non-Geographical Region Chevradioman http://www.vccacolumbiariverregion.org/ If I had known that growing old would be this much fun---I'd have done it sooner!
