Replace cable only on 8 speed trigger - M310

larkim

Is it possible just to replace the cable on a shimano 8 speed trigger shifter - the M310 Altus model?

OEM cable has become very sticky in the cable housing, and whilst the trigger works fine I can't see an obvious way to unhook the cable from the trigger system so I can just replace the cable and the housing. Plus I can't find the 8speed trigger for a sensible price on ebay or other places.

Any help gratefully received!! (Which I suppose would include obvious replacement options for an 8 speed altus M310 shifter mechanism)

Thanks

Matt

There is a little bung opposite where the cable come out. Remove bung. Make sure the lever is in the highest gear (no tension) and poke it out.

To replace feed the new one through the hole.
