happened today. installed a new cable yesterday, cuz the old one was shot. heard some squeaking at speed, that I thought might be something rubbing the tire, then a squeal, then this baby. Never seen the inside of that before.

Anybody have any tips? I can't separate the cable from the drive - but if I could, could I just screw it back in? Also, can't find a replacement part on mikes.

thought I lubed the new cable pretty well, but maybe not...

Pretty sure it's a clip in the grove tween the worm gear and the cable nut threads that keeps it in place.
Should be able to firmly grasp the collar near the cable nut with padded pliers to remove the nut and cable.
 
yeah, found some on ebay already. was hoping to repair, but it's not going back in easily anyway. haven't removed the wheel yet.
