I would, like Andy say's, REPLACE the cable. Cable and clamps should be available at your local Ace Hardware or at Lowe's. Like Mark says shouldn't be more that 5 or 6 bucks. I kinda found myself in that position on returning from a trip this summer and finding that the cable had been dragged in two. I squared the ends and cut the cable to the appropriate length(it was always to long) and slid on a connector and closed it with my railroad iron and a hammer. While there I also detected two open links in the safety chains and replace them also."SAFETY IS NO JOKE"
