Grip shifters not opening on a Mongoose Terrex (trying to remove the shifting cable) I'm trying replace the shifting cable on my mountain bike. The bike has grip shifts. I loosened the hex screw on the grip shift and was able to slide the grip part off the shift housing but it doesn't expose the shifting cable. Then I was able to remove a piece of the housing which exposed the cable but am still not able to reach the end of the cable to remove it.
If I put any more force, I'm just gonna break it. There's something I'm missing. It can't be that tight and there aren't any holes left to tinker with, lol.
Any help or ideas to access the cable would be appreciated.
If you still need help, or someone else needs this, I just got one open. Take it off the bar. Take out the grub screw and separate the silver ring it goes in from the body. Looking down the hole from where the ring was, you’ll see locking fins (?) that hold the body together. You can use a screw driver to pop the fins off from the inside and it all comes apart.
