Default F-connector has unstretchable outer covering.

In the attic, my co-ax F-connector has separated from the coax, and
because of the age, 35 years, and the occaisional heat**, the white
vinly covering doesn't strech enough to replace the F-connector.

What to do?

I can strip the outer vinyl back and then just crimp on the braid.
Would that be okay?

If not, what? Running a new cable is almost beyond me now that I'm 35
years older.



**Roof fan all this time which kept it undder 85 or 90, except a few
days when the fan was broken.
