That's an excellent tip for the beginner. IF the brake cable is being replaced it doesn't matter if you destroy the cable or not. I just take a screwdriver & twist & break off the three fingers. It doesn't matter. BUT DON'T do it until the new cable to replace it fits & looks proper.
Great tip! Another way is to slip a closed end wrench over the fingers and tap the cable out. Just Incase small hose clamps hide like 10mm sockets in your garage too.
3rd time I have seen this or a version of this one in about a YEAR . Getting old guys !!
This is a great idea that I will use from now on!. I have fought those fingers for years. Thanks for the tip.
