Replacing the torch cable on a Miller Diversion 165

Apr 23, 2016 1 Replies

I managed to mangle the torch cable by pulling it against a running grinding wheel; did not notice what was happening until it nearly cut through.



I have the replacement cable, but it is not clear how to detach the old cable.



There is a rubber boot leading up to fitting, which is attached to case with two nuts.



Right against the case is a thin nut, then right against this is a regular size nut that can be moved with a standard open end wrench.



The rubber boot cannot be pull away from fitting, so that leaves turning one or both of the nuts.



If I turn the large nut without holding the thin nut in place may twist/damage internal wiring.



I can get or fabricate a thin wrench to hold (or turn?) then thin nut if needed, but just afraid I will damage something trying to figure this out.



Any help is appreciated.
