Piece of cake.
John, this is exactly what I did to fix mine. The cable was broken and my repair was just as you described. Good job! Now, about that header install... Its lotsa fun. Have you seen my write-up on the process? I think its on the PNW web site, but it is also here: http://zr1netregistry.com/jealheader.htm
Have fun, call with questions. Jeff can probably help too...I think he knows how to go about it.
