Anyone know a technique / trick to replacing the cage on an XTR rear mech ? Preferably without a vice.

Depends entirely which model you've got.

Check out the tech docs [url= http://techdocs.shimano.com/techdocs/blevel.jsp;jsessionid=Pdw5T4BN5MpkHZMrv8jhTdtT3rQpFr7666ptJwYpjQSfRTm7slJF!1439163661?ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181679&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302051123&bmUID=j9wEtAM ]on the Shimano site[/url] to help identify where the various bolts are.

Trick? I swapped the chewed carbon bage on my XTR to a medium cage from a Saint. Took the mech off the bike, unbolted the old cage and bolted on the new. Why would you need a vice?

I wasn't sure if the spring would be an issue. Thanks Milky.

Thanks belugabob.
