#376592 - Repair Kit for Remote Control Cable

Every so often the Tube and Trunion end of the remote control cable assembly becomes damaged or is broken to make it unfit for use which, up to now, has required installation of a new cable to restore operation of the unit.

The kit (#376593) consists of three (3) pieces, namely, the tube and trunion assembly, cork seal (to seal lubricant in the cable housing) and lock nut. Tools required to do the job include a #2 "easy-out" for removing fragment of the broken or damaged tube, a ¼" - 40 NS bottoming tap for clearing the threads, a tap holder and a 7/16" end wrench.

The operation is an extremely easy one - simply adhere to instructions provided with each kit, copy of which is inclosed. - Bulletin #492
