I tried it. Oh boy what a pain, it still has not come out.
Like I said before, the cable is so rusted is like a steel rod. By pulling the end I cut I can move it back and forth about 1/2, and that is all the room I got between the back panel and the hub.
I am gonna have to wait until the weekend to really give it a good shot. The people in the apartment complex are looking at me funny for working in the parking lot.
I can't wait for my house to be ready, closing will be August 3rd and then I will have a 2 car garage and 4 car driveway to play with.
