That would be interesting to see what that looks like. All systems have a weak link. It amazes me how well the cable system works until it goes bad.
The trick is to figure it out. Once you figure out how it works then you come up with the best book of tricks on how you do it. Trial and error. I like the idea of having a big spool of replacement cable, because once you kink the cable you might as well replace it. Winding the cable on the spool in both directions using up all the spoolwith the cable coming out the middle. Then cable tie it together. right at the spool to keep it on the spool tight.
Once mounting the spool to the motor you have to make sure the direction of the cable as it winds off. A good thing to do is mark the spool mounting and motor as to where the cable comes in and out.
Once you learn one, you could do 50 in a row like clock work. It is just learning the trick on the first one that is difficult. IF you want to do it right, you will clean the old grease out of the gearing and replace it with new grease. The grease gets hard and causes the motor to strain and burn out.
