As far as the bike, I agree here with the excellent advice already given and Schwinnsta advice here should get you there...

"As a start, size the cable the same length. It does look long but it is hard to make a clean cut of the cable housing. Roger is right about getting a purpose built cutter. An awl or grinder can help to open the housing if the cut is not clean. You can always cut it shorter later if it is too long. Post videos if necessary."
Sharp wire cutters, ****s, a good craftsman or Klein linesman.
The all punch is a trick for the cable ends I have used when needed since the '80's...still works great to clean up a ragged cut.

Oh my channellock ****s are nice and sharp, sharp enough to cut string actually so they'll work just fine.
And I've got a few good scratch awls I could use to clean up the end.
In general I try not to do cheap imported tools.
