Vernier cables serviceable?

Hellloooooooo!
Testing
Good Morning!

My mixture control sticks when it's fully pulled out. I thought it was just linkage needed adjustment but the linkage is smooth as butter, so it's something with the knob-end of the cable assembly.

Are these serviceable in any way (installed) or just get a new one?

Thanks for any advice :)
 
They can be taken apart if you think the issue is dried grease or debris. However, I don't think parts are available. Use caution, as a ball is held in a notch via a spring. It will take flight as the shaft is removed if precautions aren't taken.

I inadvertently took my McFarlane vernier throttle apart :rolleyes: ...
the roller pins fell out and must be put back in correctly.
Naturally I put them back in wrong at first and the friction just wasn't right.
Easy to reassemble once shown by a google search and works as designed again.

P.S. thought I'd lost one roller pin, so ordered a set immediately but a magnet sweep of the cockpit found them all. Now I've got spares
