Next day I used a 25" long 1/4" drill bit and after about 15-20" of drilling, which takes time, the wire harness started to shift and I was able to pull it out from the top. But there was no way to pull a new cable through. A 5/16 long masonry drill ($2.99 OSH clearance bin) ground down to stator tube inner diameter, about 9/32", was used to drill out all the rust, quite a bit came out of there! Then a night soak in Evaporust and the harness (cotton/braided) slid right through without any cutting of bullets.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr">Kurt was right about the rust, the wire harness cover wicks up moisture and the tube rust from the inside out, reducing the inner diameter of the tube.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr">The Moto Lita boss need some machining to make room for the canceling arm but there was also a 3/32" or about 2.5mm protrusion of the splined section inside that needed to be milled off.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr">Getting closer...</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr">Bert</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><img class="ymail-preserve-class rte-inline-unsaved-image inline-image-guid-85fcdc6f-a7b4-af81-f938-37663ebb3e7f" src="blob:https://mail.yahoo.com/16410f33-91af-4460-91d7-036337521743" data-id="inline-image-guid-85fcdc6f-a7b4-af81-f938-37663ebb3e7f" alt="Inline image" style="width:100%;max-width:800px;max-height:600px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137689"><br><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1520612828792_137119" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></body></html>
