      Use a soldering iron to heat it up and remove the cable with a pliers. The fuel guys at the pond said that applying heat to it will loosen it up.

          use a little torch until the loctite starts to bubble
          Most flex shafts will come with a stub unless you ordered otherwise

              If you cant use heat try soaking it in thinner or nail polish remover.

                Stick it in the oven for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees, then it should come out easily.

                  Clean up is harder than the release. Make sure to use a small sanding bit on the dremal to get it nice and clean again.
