The BAL EXACT-Slide G5.5 has separate interior and exterior cables running through the left and right jambs. Its original colour-coded routing drawing shows which cable connects to each side of the drive chain. Match the damaged run before choosing a repair kit.

G5.5 original cable routing diagram
Stand inside the RV facing the slide room to determine left and right. On both jambs, the bottom exterior cable and top interior cable connect to the same side of the drive chain. The bottom interior and top exterior cables share the opposite chain side. This is specific to the G5.5 drawing and should not be borrowed from ACCU-Slide.

BAL has different replacement instructions for the top interior and bottom exterior runs. Both documents illustrate using a braided sleeve to follow the previous routing, attaching the new cable at its specified bracket, and securing the end after threading.
Top interior cable
Open top interior replacement procedure (PDF)Bottom exterior cable
Open bottom exterior replacement procedure (PDF)Follow the document for the actual failed cable. The exterior cable attaches to an outside standoff, while an interior cable uses the interior adjustment bracket. The manufacturer's instructions call for the appropriate ferrule crimp and cable re-tensioning; the diagrams should remain available throughout the repair.
Check alignment and tension before normal operation
Inspect the pulleys, cable guides and standoff brackets for damage or rubbing. After the repair, BAL's G5.5 adjustment sequence establishes bottom-interior tension first and top-interior tension second, with the room cycled between checks. Use the G5.5 tension and chain-slack guide rather than adjusting by appearance alone.
