Steering Cable Removal Help!

I can't seem to get this nut to budge. I have been working on it way too long. This is the nut that attaches to the sleeve just before attaching to the rudder. And suggestions welcome...

Take the bracket off its easier

I cut my 12 point side of the wrench so I could slide it over the nut ( like a brake wrench). I cut it shorter (maybe 3 inches long) to fit in there too. I then used a breaker bar to get leverage to break the nut loose. It was a pain but worked.

Try soaking it with PB Blaster for a few days and use a short wrench.

Get a new tube from teleflex and pull the whole thing with the cable and replace with new.

I'll give it a try on the whole tube removal. That's going to be a tricky maneuver, getting a tool to that bracket if I remember correctly.

Make sure to tie a string to the old cable before pulling it out. use the string to run the new cable

[Bluestreak]

Well, I got the guide tube removed and the old cable out. What a relief! Since they sent me the wrong cable I'm playing the waiting game for a few more days I guess.

Thanks again for the suggestions,
