I need some help, i have this cable clip that was on the cable. But i had to repair the cable. In order to do that I had to remove the clip. Now I want the clip back on, but I'm unable to because it's really tight. Also there is a sort of spring mechanism in the clip.
Should i try something with extreme heat or cold? And how do i safely heat up rubber?
The clip
The Cable
taper with a sharp knife. then coat with a nice lube (silicone, etc, i'd avoid lithium, too sticky). push on with enough through to add the new connector.

You should cut the clip?

>And how do i safely heat up rubber?
heat up water in a mug to boiling with a microwave
stick the end of the cable in the hot water for a minute or so
pull on the sheath so it stretches out
you should be able to pull the cable thru

get electrical tape, apply to tip REALLY TIGHTLY, COMPRESSING THAT RUBBER INSULATION DOWN, slip that clip back onto the cord, use ky jelly or something to slid it the rest of the way, wipe it clean and remove the tape. Attach cable back to either the plug and/or machine/box it connects to.

Fucking retarded way to damage the cable. Heat up the clip, not the cable, OBVIOUSLY!!!!!

Silicone spray in a can is very handy but anything will do. No need to cut a taper as long as the end is neat and not like a wizards sleeve, if its not going on a clean end it's not going anywhere
