[QUOTE="Dickie524, post: 585591, member: 21482"] My van has the belly pans on underneath, full length, so was terrified when I tried this last weekend as a snap or failure would mean massive works. Make sure you remove the plastic/ nylon 'ends' at the rear of the van, I hadn't realised they trap a ferrule at the end of the cable. I squirted them with WD and EP90 from a syringe, which is thick but creeps over time. I then pulled from the front until I could feel the outer wound sheathing starting to unravel, then tied it off there, and went round the back to push inside the tube with some wire from there - this then sprung forwards under the tension of the unravelling of the outer sheath. I repeated this a few times and eventually got them both out. Next step would have been to remove the inner wire as suggested, but thought that was a 1-way street so didn't want to do that unless as a last resort - thankfully it didn't get to that... Good luck!
