Angle Drive Cable Windings

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Nope: mine is wound like a left handed bolt -- "threads" angle from
right front to left rear. After reading replacement procedure for this
cable, am convinced to try splicing a new end on first. Couldn't work
any worse...

Have test fitted tension spring I'd like to use in splice. Is wound in
other direction, so threads on without too much difficulty, but
catches cut loose ends of outer cable windings when removed (counter
clockwise -- same direction as wheel rotation). That must be what
wheel disc did (something compromised outer windings and at 80 mph
wheel did rest).
