I haven’t watched the video Karl sent. I’m sure it covers it all. But it goes like this: you have one end on which the rubber has a wider entrance. The cable goes there as far up as it will fit. Clamp it down with the screw. The other end captures the cable itself. Clamp it down with the screw. Find the port where the spray lube straw is inserted. Insert it and fill the cable housing to your liking.
