1. Check the length of the housings.

If appropriate, use the old housing as a guide. The 

correct length of housing should allow full rotation 

of the handlebar and should not snag on the front 

reflector.

2. Square the ends of the housings with a file or 

bench grinder.

If necessary, use a sharp probe to open the end 

of the housing liner to eliminate cable friction. 

Where appropriate, install brake housing end caps. 

The special housing end caps with the extension 

are intended to guide the cable through the barrel 

adjuster (Figure 7).

1. Where the cables run inside housing, lubricate 

them with a light grease or heavy oil.

2. Slide the housings up the cables until the hous-

ings are firmly engaged in the lever.

Some brake levers require special housing ferrules 

or cable guides inside the lever. If unsure, consult 

your dealer.

3. Thread the cable through the stops, cable protec-

tor donuts, and housing to the cable clamp bolt.

4. Make sure the leaded end of the cable is properly 

seated in the brake lever (Figure 6).

5. Attach the cable to the brake and tighten the cable 

clamp bolt (Figure 7) to 50-70 lb•in (5.7-7.9 Nm).
