Expert Reply:

If the cable of your SMI Air Force One kit broke from the cylinder then the only solution is going to be to replace it with the part # DM56VR.

Hi, My cable snapped on the Demco AF1 cylinder on my Jeep for flat towing. Your note above says there is no way to fix it without replacing the entire cylinder assembly, but on another etrailer video it shows DM56VR as a replacement cable option. Please clarify if this is acceptable means to repair a broken cable. Thanks.

@KimbalG Good catch! So at one point the replacement cable wasn't available with the part # DM56VR but it recently was added and we didn't go back and correct this answer...but I will now.
