Next time, I will grind it down but now it's already stuck in there again.
This is the only one I've ever had this issue with. The cable head usually
slides right in/out.

If you need to force the cable IN, then it will absolutely be a bear to get
back out. That's a guarantee. If it were me and I felt I had to force a
cable into a Silver shifter, I'd get another cable. If I was determined to
use that cable, for whatever reason, I'd give it a quick kiss on the

Pam,
Have you considered trying downtube shifters? I have always loved bar end
shifters, but one of my bikes has 9 speed downtube indexed (gasp!)
shifters which are just wonderful to use, and are my current favorites.
They are Shimano Dura Ace, but these seem unobtanium nowadays. Microshift
Perhaps enlarge the hole in the shifter a wee bit?

I use current era Campagnolo shift cables for both Campagnolo and Shimano
derailleur shifters, including on my bicycles equipped with Simplex
retro-friction down tube shifters.

Cables for Campagnolo shifters have a slightly smaller head than those for
Shimano/SRAM, by about 0.1-0.2mm. If you install a Shimano/SRAM cable in a
Campagnolo shifter, you'll have similar problems trying to extract it when
it needs replacing.

Took it to REI after trying the pick. Guy had to hammer it out w/a small
awl. Then when I tried to install a new cable - the head wouldn't go down
until I had tension on the cable then the old cable housing gave up at a
weak point and bent. Now I'll need new housing in addition to the
I've stuck cable ends in the past, hate it, the worst problem I think.
Started putting grease on cable ends and a little dab in the shifter hole.

What about cutting the cable off flush and drilling down with a fine drill
bit partway into the cable head and tapping it with a hammer, or perhaps
using a very fine nail as a tap, holding it with pliers and striking the
nail with a hammer. Have you tried soaking it in boiling water?

Tried the awl, then a small drill bit from behind then the guy at REI put
it in a vise and used a hammer and small punch to get it out. This is a
silver shifter that is ever so slightly smaller hole for the cable head.
Thanks all for your help!
p.s. Now I have yet another front shifter
I had this very problem, and the cable head eventually freed with
persistent prodding with an awl. A search on the Triathlon forum showed
others had the same issue and soaking the cable in lube/oil/WD40 overnight
seems a good idea.
Try a pick. Worked for me on old Simplex stem shifter with likely original
cables from 70’s.

I'm pushing it w/pliers and it is stuck. Not moving at all. I put it in
the freezer hoping it'll come out tomorrow. Any other ideas? I need to
use this shifter lever and this cable is too short.

Try leaving a 1-2 inch tail and using a pliers to twist it and push it out
