STEP 5
Pull the small, black sheath stopper out of the screw top (see Figures 5.1 and 5.2). If it is difficult to
pull out the stopper with your bare hands, try pulling it out with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

STEP 6
Grasp the steel cable with one hand, just above the footboard chain attachment (see Figure 6.1).
Then, grasp the cable housing with the other hand. Pull in opposite directions and slide the cable
housing all the way off the steel cable (see Figure 6.2). Discard the old cable housing.
STEP 7
Slide the felt washer all the way off the cable
(see Figure 7.1) and set it aside.
STEP 8
Detach the existing cable from the footboard chain using ONE of these two methods:
With needle-nose pliers:
a. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grab the cable stopper inside the footboard chain
attachment link.
b. Twist the cable stopper gently with the pliers, so that its circular sides are parallel to the sides
of the chain attachment link, as shown in Figure 8.1. Once the stopper is in this position, you
can slide it out the backside of the chain attachment link and away from the footboard, as
shown in Figure 8.2.
Or with wire cutters:
a. Use wire cutters to grab the cable just above the cable stopper, inside the footboard chain
attachment link (see Figure 8.1).
b. Cut the cable stopper off the steel cable and discard it.
