Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a tailgate cable on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's the same process on a large variety of GM models. The only tool that you're going to need is a 13 millimeter socket, and a ratchet.
You don't need to do anything up here, but you want to remove this 13-millimeter bolt, right here. I'm going to fast-forward as he removes that. Once that lower bolt is removed, you just push the clip up, and off.
You can see here on the left is the old one. On the right is the new one from 1AAuto. They're identical. What you want to do is just put that bolt on by hand first, and tighten it up. Then use your socket and ratchet to tighten it the rest of the way. Now you just want to line that clip up on the bolt, and then pull it down, and it's all set.
