And once again it has popped off the pulley. I can do this job in my sleep by now and have followed the vague Bentley image for reassembly but I cannot get the cable to hold for more than a couple of rain sessions. All began with a frayed cable - I replaced it with proper Saab part and cranked the nut on super tight. The first couple times I chalked the failure up to improper cable tension but the last time I used red loctite. Do you guys think the problem is with the worn original lock nut or is there something I'm missing regarding the pulley/cable positioning. I loop it, and bench test it each time, but it still fails during the most in-opportune times... I gotta drive the SPG in a wedding this weekend and the forecast is for 2" of rain! Lets just say that I added a level of anxiety to the bachelor party tonight....
Thanks.
