Trigger wire replacement instructions

Usually the manufactures original hardwires are long enough for the first time a camms trigger wires are repaired. Check to see that a new swage held below the old swage will not interfere with the camming action. If there will be no interference, cut the hard wire as close to the original swage as possible and go to Cable Replacement. If a new swage placed on the cut off hard wire will catch on the edge of the cam blades or interfear in any other way, go to Hard Wire replacement.

Cable Replacement:

STRONGLY ADVISED: When repairing a cam it is strongly recommended that all trigger wires be replaced at the same time because:

Usually when one wire breaks the other will also beweak and will soon follow.
To get the trigger handle to sit straight and for the blades of the cam to position properly it is vital that each trigger wire be exactly the same length. Hence cutting both sides and replacing at the same time ensures proper positioning.

Measure the cable length with a piece of thread and cut the cable pieces accordingly.
NOTE: if you are not replacing the hard wire you have to allow for more cabling as the hard wire will be shorter than the original.
Thread the cable thru the trigger handle being careful not to fray the ends.
Reapeat for each wire.
Go to Swedging.

Hard Wire Replacement

Measure proper gauge of hard wire and cut to length needed. Make sure all wires are the same length.
Insert one end of the hardwire 2mm thru the hole in the cam blade and bend to a 90 degree angle.

Allow for an extra 1mm of space to ensure smooth action.

Remove the wire and slide the other end thru so that the 'stopper' end is on the proper side. Note: the stopper hook can be trimmed to 2mm.

The next step is to bend the wire towards the trigger.
IMPORTANT: to ensure a smooth action, before you bend the wire towards the trigger push an extra 1mm of wire thru the blade, bending so that the stopper hook is 1mm from the cam. This allows for extra play as the cam is triggered and eliminates the possibility of binding.

Swedging

Gently rough up the end of the Hard Wire

Align Swage so Hard Wire and Cable ends are just visible

Crimp Swage Lengthwise with inside "U" shape Crimp

Use the outer Crimp to fold the Sides of the "U" shaped swage

Repeat steps 1-5 for each wire.

Aliens:

There are Pins included for the micro cams. Be careful to leave space as is step HWR 4. Also, once the pin is inserted thru the cam blade, bend a hook on the far side BEFORE cutting off the excess - this prevents the pins from slipping out.
The small diameter hardwire and small swages are for the small Alien cams. Use any regular small plier to crimp as the swages are softer. But remember to put a hook in the hardwire on the side farthest from the blade to ensure it doesn't slip.
