Is this a question or a statement?

OK - is there a thread explaining how to do this? Trying to help a neighbor fix his AR230 and could use some insight. Thanks!

I used a 22mm deep impact socket with a pair of vice grips and managed to loosen the nut enough to get it off.
A better solution is a 22mm deep pass thru socket if you can find one. A 7/8 pass thru socket should work if the socket is deep enough. My 7/8 pass thru as just shy of reaching - not quite long enough.

In order to use this, did you just cut the existing cable or pull it all the way through from the helm first? And then tighten it at the jet first then remove the socket and feed it through?
