Anyone know what the heck is inside the typical vernier cable head? Cant get it entirely out, won’t feed back in?!?!��
 
Not much help, but I just installed a parking brake vernier cable and it came with a warning to not extend beyond 3 inches or an internal steel ball would become dislodged. I didn?t test it...
 
Didn't Stein or EAA or somebody do a video on how to reassemble a vernier cable once you had goofed up and it fell apart?
I know it was linked here at VAF.
 
Years ago I had a vernier control apart and a small ball bearing shot out and disappeared.

It took me a while to realize that it was a ball bearing, and then more time to find one that would work.

The ball rode in a wide helical groove in the inside of the housing. The button on the knob connected to a probe that pushed the ball out of the groove area into a recess in the knob assembly.

Don't know how typical this is, but that's what mine was like then.

Yours may not be a Mcfarland cable but I think they have a video or a description on their website.
