Starboard shift cable, from drive to on engine acutuator, had a kink near the business end in it since I have owned the boat. It was straightened out but after a few r and r of the drives and a missed correct cable install by me the cable has a kink and needs replaced. Can someone confirm the tool part #s I need. There are 2 one for the ball end and on for the actuator side. So far I have found 91-12427T Merc or 18-9807 Sierra equivalent but cannot find the 2nd tool #. Any help would be appreciated.

If any interest shipped 50 bucks to the door for whomever.
And if one is changing the shift cable buy the Merc one in kit form. . The bellows is better as well than the aftermarkets

I have all the tools and last time I replaced one, I didn't use any of them. The new cable came pre-pinned (adjusted to correct length). All I did was make sure I had 3 inch pin to pin on the shift plate, installed and it work perfect.
