Worth doing a couple of practice cuts on the old housing with the dremel if you can get your hands on one, if you cut too slowly the outer gets too hot and shrivels up/melts.

Unfortunately nope, dont have one. Used one of my former housemate's when I had to set my brakes the last time.
andy's advice is sound, definitely practice first with old outers.

Thanks Ben, good to know. Do you have a dremel? In the past I've poked some old inner in to the section I'm cutting to stop the outer getting deformed too much but I can see why a dremel would be best.
I'm hoping I don't need to recable (changing stem) but if I do I've got some options now (which aren't £20 jagwire). Thanks all
