    Default ASC/Cruise Control/Throttle bowden cable Replacement DIY

    Friday afternoon I was able to replace all of the bowden cables mentioned in the title. Since there is very little documentation on this process I decided to make some documentation.

    I created a website complete with instructions and pictures for the process which can be found here. Hopefully this will help those of you that are in need of replacing these cables. I took as many pictures as I thought to but more could have been taken. If anyone needs clarification on something just let me know and I'll be glad to elaborate or take more pictures.

    By the way, these instructions should work with the 530s and 540s. I don't know which other models this particular procedure applies to.

    Pat, well done -- both the actual work, and the blog on doing it!

    I have one of the cables (ASC+T, I think) that has a cracked cover, so this will come in very handy.

    Cheers,
