Mine broke last weekend. I was hoping the cable had just come loose but,nope, it broke about 1/4" back from the handle. I dont' think it can be spliced, at least not at that spot. Has anyone ever repaired/replaced the cable on a 1st Gen? I removed the handle assembly but can't get the end of the old cable out. Everythings seems to be welded or frozen in place.

Thanks in advance.
