One is locked in the in position and one in the out.If I can't get the one free, the wheel is locked solid is there new ones, I looked today and it seems like none of the venders sell them.

More than I can say for the 1/2 ton cables the vendors sell, all of which I've seen have been to short. http://www.inlinetube.com/Brake%20Cables/brake%20cable%20listings/cables.htm Denny G Denny G Sandwich, IL
