Racer, I have a 2014 F22 that needs its cable replaced and so far I’m having the same issues as you but on mine both the long black rectangle of the cable and the steering part it attaches to both say “do not disassemble - replace as a unit.” - did yours say the same? Also, under the motor, the sleeve the rod-end of the cable screws into, I’m unable to get the nut off - the sleeve is spinning in its mount as I turn the nut. How solid is this sleeve? Can I put a wrench on it or do I need to worry about squeezing it too hard and collapsing it?
i also can’t dine a part number on my cable…
