Not grief brother just fair warning the only cable injury I have first hand knowledge of on the hoist cable is from a broken sleeve failure and it almost killed someone, and most cable failures on any of the wreckers cables have been the sleeve it is the one part I won't reuse if at all possible.

Zebedee the plug and sleeves are available separately if your plug was bent your sleeve and plug should be replaced they recommend replacement if you remove them if the clevis is okay

Not quite Ron you are suppose to drive the plug down into the cable a specific amount and wrap the cable back over the end of the cable so when you have it assembled you can see the ends of the wires in the inspection hole and the sleeve should be tightened until only four or less threads are...

Also cut as much of the fiber core out as you can to keep it out of the fitting

Also in case a direct answer is better yes to lube or antiseize and the sleeve should have four or less threads showing, no torque specs

Just found out the amsteel blue cable is 350.00 so I think I am going to try it when I get a wrecker back up and going.

Been looking into replacing mine with synthetic wire rope if me and the engineer for the company that makes the termination fittings can figure out how to make it work. :grd:
