–  Strip 6 or 7 mm from the ends with the Cable stripping pliers -VAS 1978/3-.
–  Apply one of the ends of the pressure connection to the original simple cable and the other to the repair cable.
–  Compress the two ends of the pressure connection cable with the Cleaving pliers -VAS 1978/1-.
–  Repeat this operation at the other end of the repair cable.
  Note
t  The correct compression cavity must be used for the corresponding pressure connection → Chapter.
t  The cable lining must not be compressed.
After compression, carry out retraction of the pressure connection with a hot air blower in order to prevent entry of humidity.

–  Heat the pressure connection in the lengthwise direction, from the center to the ends, until it is completely sealed and glue starts to come out of the ends.
  Caution
In the retraction of the connection by pressure, it is essential to ensure that the hot air blower does not damage other cables, plastic parts or any other lining.
Read the instruction manual for the hot air blower carefully!
  Note
  N97-0013
t  In the event that more than one cable needs repairing, ensure that the pressure connections are not placed together. In order to prevent the section of cables from occupying too much space, position the pressure connection slightly away.
t  In the event that the repaired section is warped, rewrap the location with yellow adhesive after repairs have been carried out.
t  If necessary, secure the repaired cables with a clamp, this avoiding the generation of any noise when the vehicle is later driven.
