Sure. Once the cable is removed, decide which end to shorten. No big decision process, "one side or the other" theory works fine. Remove the inner cable, pulls right out. On the side you want to shorten, first you need to remove the metal end. Drill the small dimples out that hold the metal end to the cable sheath so you can pull the end off. The just slice maybe 3/8" or so off the plastic sheath using a single edged razor or something comperable. Put the metal end back over the sheath and you should be able to just crimp it on with a pliers, or use a hammer and center-punch and put a few dimples in it like the factory did. I'd stick a pin punch into the sheath to help brace the sheath for the center punch if you intend on doing it that way. Look at the other end when placing the metal end back on so you know the outer sheath is inserted a proper amount into the metal part.
