Chris - pretty sure it's those screws. Squirt 'em with WD40 and leave overnight. Pick the _correct_
size and type (Posi-drive and Philips are _not_ the same type cross head) driver first time, and
have at it - should be fine.

The two cover bolts are the right way in. Make sure that the shifter is in its "initial" possition
(twist it all the way forward). Remove the two screws, replace the cable ... replace the two screws.
That Tourney stuff was really simple to replace cables on. Especially when compared to older
gripshift.

Ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks everybody.

Whilst searching, I also found some good stuff here: d.umn.edubikeOpen ↗
particularly chapter 30

Done it. It was the two screws. Once I plucked up the courage to give them a good push with a #1
Philips all went well.

Thanks everybody.
