Assembling the new Mirage Drive drums and cables

Caution: The new cables and drums are slotted for easier maintenance and tune ups. They are not interchangeable with the older parts.

Warning: If cables are installed incorrectly, they may twist off the drums, causing the Drive to fail.

Tip: DO NOT REUSE Nyloc nuts when installing new cables. The slotted cable threads have 40% less area -- worn Nylocs may back out causing Drive failure or adjustment problems.

7/16 inch wrench needle nose pliers Marine grade axle grease

3.Pre-install crank arms to the drums, noting left and right crank arms
