Default Vindikta ape install issues - any thoughts or ideas?

I posted in Rushmore section but was told this might be better as it sees more traffic..

My wire extensions came in today for my Vindikata bars. Started to run them internal and the damn extension broke inside the bar. I got the wire set out but the extension is stuck inside the bar and I am out of ideas to get them out.

Any ideas before I call a local shop tomorrow and see if they can do something.
tried fishing out with a wire coat hanger but that failed. Really frustrated at the moment - I have a big benifit this weekend for a friend to pass and I wanted to take the SGS. I guess I can take the dyna but damn I am getting tired of looking at it on the stand!!!

Thanks

Jamie

I'm not sure what you mean by the extension. Is it just the wire that's stuck? Maybe try blowing compressed air in the bar. Or use a bottle brush, they have long flexible brushes for aquarium hoses that look like bottle brushes.

yes the extension came plug and play but the connector broke between the extension and the hand control wiring. the extension is stuck the hand control wiring has been removed.

I will look into bottle brushes

Spray wd40 inside the bar and it will pull very easy. Attach a string to the wires. Use a string and a nut to fish it through then pull it through.
