Lelecar Door Cable Repair Kit with Cam piece for Ford F-series E-series Ranger Expedition Excursion Navigator Latch Lock Handle Billet Aluminum (4 Ends for 2 cables)

This allowed me to repair the Bowden cable in the barn door of my 2005 Ford Excursion. Only thing, the slot was a bit narrow for the cable to fit. So I used a nail file to widen the slot a bit so the cable could safely fit without abrading the cable during use. After that, I was able to assemble the cable properly. I installed it into my Excursion without issue and it fit into the slots the old Bowden cable ends did.

Hacen bien el trabajo

Mine is a '97 F-150 purchased in January '96. Those YouTube vids made it look easy but it was way more time and effort than they explained. It turned out that I only needed the new retainers for the upper locking mechanism. The lower one is controlled by a rod. Like other commenters I needed to file a retainer's channel so the wire would fit in. Squeezing the cable jacket/sleeve into the new retainer is where the work comes in. I used a file to smooth the cable jackets and remove the jagged stuff left over from the old retainer's grip. Still, getting the new retainers to slide on/in required pliers and some serious hand strength. The cable jacket needs to go almost all the way up to the ring, minus about one quarter inch, or so. I found that after getting both jackets about half way inserted that mounting them into operating position allowed me to use the actual mechanism itself to then push the jackets further into position. The pull is tight, so pull the handles hard. This is IMPORTANT: the upper lock's cable retainer is the special one. It needs to be inserted in a certain way onto the jacket so as to rotate 90 degrees when the assembly is re-installed on the door. Be mindful of this before you start pushing the jacket into the new retainer otherwise it will not stay in position and just pull out. If this happens to you, like it did me, don't throw your hands up. I used a vise grip to hold the new upper retainer while the other hand held the jacket with pliers. I then twisted the jacket around enough so the retainer would stay in the clips when the assembly was then remounted. Others, I'm sure others might know a better way to do this, but if you read and understand this before going in, then you'll have a somewhat easier time than I did. Another problem I had was that, when all was set in position, the mechanism was still too tight so the lock would not set when the door was closed. The trick was to remove that plastic holder on the lower cable's mount, open the plastic binding clip and reset the threaded metal cable lead/end back about one eighth inch then close it back up. Now the upper lock would stay engaged until released by the handles. In any event, I'm glad that I did this. For $6 I revived full use of my extended cab which had been unavailable for a long time. While you're at it, clean those dirty door seals. You're welcome :)

Fit perfectly once I figured out that cables have to slide into the new fitting as far as you can get them on. One latch end (Top Latch) takes the cam/notched shaped end, the other end doesn't and both pieces are provided. Fixed my 3rd door latch on my F-150 so i'm very pleased with this item.

Good product, better than what they replaced.

I was excited to get this product as they seemed far superior to the rubber ends that came with the original door handle cables. Unfortunately, these would not go on the ends of my cable. The slit was too thin to let the cables pass through easily. It was all I could do to get them to go halfway through. Of course, then it doesn't let the cable glide through the opening as it should. In addition, the neck of the these ends would not slide down on the rubber sheathing like they were supposed to either, so even if the cable had worked properly with these on, I could not create the correct distance from the cable ball to the top of these replacements so that they could function properly. Great idea, but just didn't work for me.

The media could not be loaded.  This was an easy fix for an endemic problem, this is the 3rd time I have fixed this problem on my F150, the first time, I bought a while new cable assembly which cost $$$, a year later, another one broke and I happen to find the caps on Ebay and I bought them there, this time "Amazon" had them for a cheaper price. There are 2 cables in each door, and there are 4 caps in each pack, Replacing the broken holder is much easier then replacing the entire cable assembly. Well worth the $$$

The only difficulty was the window latch end. Had to remove the mechanism to get it done.Otherwise perfect repair. Relatively simple. Now I won't have to worry about it again.Well made. Watch the multitude of videos online for instructions.Much better option than paying $60/cable for more plastic.
