Had 3 O5s over the years,
Straight Coat hanger type rod through the shock end of swing arm, fiddle a bit, gaffer tape string to exposed end, pull through, attach cable, pull back.

Don’t bother with specific orange rubber Grommets, an inch of camel back hose is far more effective

Oops, wrong way round.
Rod through drop out end ((smallest hole) grab cable through swing arm ( biggest hole) 😁

Vacuum cleaner to suck cotton thread through. Block off all the other holes you can, should be doable on a swing arm. Then use the cotton to draw string through, then tape string to the outer and pull it through

Yup, vacuum cleaner and cotton thread. Tie it to the nipple end of an old inner cable, pull through, then feed the outer over it.

We need a pic of her face when she sees you vacuuming your bike.

do you need step by step instructions on how to use it? do you even know where the iron is kept?
