If not take it into a dealer and they'll replace them. I've replaced a fair amount of both up and down lines and steering lines. As a side note i used a really thin accessory cord to replace my old left steering line rather than the factory cord and it works great. Just make sure that if you use a different cord than what it is static and dose not have significant stretch when wet.

It's nice to see the young guys have the Spirit . .
