John, seems like you=E2=80=99re caught between a rock and a hard place.=20

Rather than running a drill in there I=E2=80=99d try something to swage the t=
ubing, like a ball on the end of a flex shafting a sheath. I=E2=80=99d try t=
o push the swage in, rather than rotate it. Something like an air chisel. Tr=
y going in with a 1/4=E2=80=9D ball first, then move up to a larger one. If y=
ou can remove the motor you=E2=80=99ll have more room to work.=20

If you decide to go with a drill, grind it so that the tip is larger than th=
e shaft so you are only working with a small area. And run the drill backwar=
ds so you are reshaping rather than cutting.=20

One other thought. First verify that there isn=E2=80=99t damage farther up t=
he tube by pushing the cable in from the other end to see where it hangs. Cu=
t the tube off above the tight spot, repair the tube, then splice it back in=
.=20

Afterwards, be sure to apply copious amounts of beer or drink of your choice=
.=20

Peace,
Pat

well something got hung or fouled and causes a problem.. the cable fouled (o=

=20
I have been able to cut the bad end of the tube and re-flare (that was fun .=
..not) but when trying to put cable back in the tubing I found it was damage=
d enough that the cable won't pass easily... or actually at all... I need a w=
ay to get the tubing reshaped so the cable will slide easily thru it. I can o=

ithout removing all of the above stated.
=20
I tried passing a 1/4" diameter rod thru and it works but when I try the act=
ual size thru the tube (5/16") it binds up in the first two or three inches o=
f the tube. I tried to tap a 5/16" rod thru the tube to stretch it back in s=
hape but I have no way to hold the tube steady (one hand) hold the rod at th=

 to reshape the tube. (and no room for a helper.) All while laying on my sid=

this is where I'm working... and that little space is tough on an old  fat m=

Another thought. If you can get to the spot where the damage is, try using y=
our flare tool in small steps to see if you can work the tube back into shap=
e.=20

Instead of my suggestion of using a flex shaft to push the ball through the t=
ube, try pulling it. Check out bicycle/motorcycle brake cables to see if the=
y would work.=20
