if it's just the one cable & you'll go thru all that trouble, I'd bring it in & have a pro who is doing stuff like that all day long, replace w/ a new cable & housing. treat yourself. then do your best to keep it dry. do it, then move on w/ your life, you have some riding to do ... ;-) mine are external. I've replaced many over the years. the modern road bike is a little more difficult. I did one, but used 2 cables to get it done right. next one I brought to a shop, easy peasy
