The cables do not appear to have been worked on. Not sure if this is normal for a brake cable, but these particular cables consist of about 6-8 twisted wires covered with a hard jacket. It appears that this jacket covered cable then moves inside and is protected by an outer shield. The ends near the pedal group that failed both have about a half inch or so of the metal strands of the inner cable exposed. The metal looks great. No fraying, no damage to the jacket, etc. It appears to me that the required terminations must have been pressed onto that half inch of cable and simply pulled off. The cart was braking normally right up to the failure. No parts found but are probably out on the golf course somewhere. Does the replacement cable consist of just the moving part of the cable or does it include the outer shield also? In other words, can you just pull out the broken cable and slide a new on into the outer shield without removing anything from the cart?
Should I be able to lay under the cart, push forward on the brake actuator ( the one that comes out of the rubber boot on the back of the drum ) with my hand and engage the brake on each wheel ( one at a time of course )? I tried to do that and when I pushed as hard as I could it did not appear that the brake engaged since I could still move the cart with my other hand.
thx
