Default How to install shifter cable on Ultegra brake/shift lever?

My rear derailer shifter cable broke at the front lever on a long ride
today. I bought a new cable and I have no idea of how to install the

thing!

It's an
Ultegra brake/shifter lever. The shift cable inserts from the left side as
you are sitting on the bike.


Actually, the new shift cable will be inserted from the right side side of
the lever.

See:

Or:

1) Press the small lever on your shifter several times.

2) Open the quick release lever on your rear brake.

3) Squeeze the right brake lever, and look into the RIGHT side to see how
the shift cable seats.

4) Push the broken cable through from the left while squeezing the brake
lever.

5) Push the new cable in from the right (route it through the shifter cable
housing, down tube stop, under the BB, and through the rear stop and housing
and into the derailler.

6) Note how the old cable is attached to the rear der, and attach the new
cable exactly the same.
