is flat against the vise jaws at the mark made on the wire

mended length is 5/8 in. past the end of the sleeve.

Unlay the cable strands by gently forcing a screwdriver
between the outer strands to unlay the cable. When
done properly the outer strands will form a symmetrical
basket. Do not straighten out the spiral lay of the
strands, unlay any wires that make up the strand, or
allow the strands to cross each other inside the sleeve.
5.
Install the plug supplied with the kit by placing the plug
in the center of the strands starting with the small
tapered end of the plug. Use a metal tube (plug driver)
and hammer to drive the plug into the sleeve while
assuring that the strands are spaced somewhat equally
around the plug. Drive the plug until it is firmly seated
and no more than 1/3 of the plug is visible from above
the sleeve.
