OUR SALES DEPARTMENT WILL BE PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING. Having 2 people would speed things up, but it took me the better part of a Saturday to complete this repair, including a trip for supplies. One tip that helped was wrapping the cable end with tape and using a cutoff wheel to trim the cable, preventing unravelling. once re-assembled, adjusting the tension and making sure all four corners raised equally was simple. Once untangled, I attached the two cables back together using the turnbuckle. A hydraulic jack and jackstands really helped give some room for this part. Thse difficult part came when I realized the remaining cable from the winch was wound upon it self.this was the hardest part of the entire repair.
I went underneath and matched the cable length to the remaining cable, then attached the cable end/turnbuckle used to adjust tension. Take care when cutting the cable, it can't be frayed or it will be impossible to feed through the pulleys and collars. I made one loop and fastened it in the post, feed the cable throught the floor and reinstalled the post. Total cost was less than $40 and the tool was $28! My old cable had broken underneath, so I could still see the routing pattern. Next, a trip to HomeDepot for some 1/8th inch cable, collars, and a Swaging tool ( like bolt cutters, but used to crimp sleeves on braided cable).
Since the cable was broken, the corner support lifted right out, not even fastened at the floor. Next, I removed the corner post.onlt two 7/16th bolts at the top and 2 screws holding a trim plate. First, I raised the top using a 6foot 2x2 and a hydraulic jack, carefully winching a little, the raising the broken corner so it was all level. Dealers wanted $110 an hour to attempt repair.
I broke the left front cable on my 96 Starcraft pop-up. I forgot to unlatch one corner and proceeded to crank the winch to try to raise the top. I recently had this problem due to my own ineptitude.
