3. Slide the drive cable out the back of the stuffing tube. Wipe

off any old grease and water that may still be on the cable.

4. Apply a small amount of GrimRacer Speed Grease onto

the drive cable and slide it back into the stuffing tube.

5. Leave a 2mm gap [1/16"] between the front of the drive

dog and the end of the stuffing tube.

6. Tighten the set screws that hold the drive cable in place.

It is a good idea to tighten one screw lightly and then the
other. Go back and forth between the screws to keep even
tension on the drive cable.
