When replacing your MAXPRO cables, please take note of the different steps. Do not rush this and give yourself plenty of time to familiarize yourself with your MAXPRO. Please wear safety glasses when changing out your cables.

**IMPORTANT** BEFORE YOU TAKE THE OLD CABLE KIT OFF you must let the (old) cable fully unwind the cord so that it is not tight around the kit when you pull it off. 

This is extremely **important** to prevent the springs that are under tension from popping out of the black casing. Once you watch the video once (before you do the cable replacement) this should make sense.
