Locate the turnbuckle (1) in the channel (2) halfway down the sidewall to the right of the winch.

Lift the cable (3) out of the channel (2) to gain access to the turnbuckle (1).

Pull out the end of the left hand turnbuckle locking clip (1) closest to the center hole (2) of the turnbuckle

with a pair of needle nose pliers. Slide the locking clip (1) out the left side (3) of the turnbuckle. Repeat for

the right hand turnbuckle locking clip (4). Discard removed turnbuckle locking clips as they will be

replaced with new ones upon replacing the cable.

Place an open end wrench (5) or similar tool on each of the wire rope end terminals (rod ends) (6) going

into the turnbuckle body (7) and unscrew the turnbuckle body using a punch (8) with a tip diameter that

fits into the center hole (2). Rotate the turnbuckle body (7) until the threaded portion of the wire rope end

terminal (6) is completely removed from the turnbuckle body (7). Set the turnbuckle body (7) aside, it will

be required later.

Repeat for remaining two turnbuckles.
