How do I install a ferrule?
Simply push the ferrule firmly onto the clean end of the 4mm gear outer cable until it is securely seated.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit securely on the cable.
Verify that the cable outer housing is indeed 4mm in diameter. Ensure there is no damage or debris at the cable end that prevents a snug fit. If the cable is damaged, it may need to be trimmed or replaced.
Ferrule seems too loose.
Double-check the cable diameter. If it is a 4mm cable, try applying gentle pressure with pliers to slightly crimp the ferrule for a tighter fit, but be cautious not to crush the cable housing.
Cable housing frays immediately after installation.
Ensure the ferrule is pushed on fully and is not cracked or damaged. If the housing is severely damaged, it might require replacement.
