Changing the plug on Welder Cable
In article ,
) says...
The cable end has a molded kind of material that is shaped like a
piece of plastic pipe about 3/4" thick and 3" long. There is no set
screw in it, no hole in the side of it, and it does not seem to be
screwed on. Tapping on it does not seem to slide it back. How the
heck do these things come off? I'm guessing there's a set screw under
that molded "pipe" insulator, to take the wire out of the brass plug,
but first I need to get that insulator off and I have no clue how.
Factory cables often have press fit connectors. If you don't find a set
screw, you will just have to cut the connector off. Try heat on the
plastic to see if you can soften it enough to slide it back.
