Tie a piece of string on the end of the old cable as you remove it, and then use that string to fish the new cable through.

While fishing the new cable through , push from the cable side and only remove slack from the string side, this will prevent it from coming detached.

I just pull the old cable out, leaving the housing, put the new cable in the old housing, pull the old housing off the new cable, then slip the new housing on the new cable.

The rear housing stop comes off, allowing a pretty clear view inside the top tube when fishing the new cable through. Alternatively, if you get a piece of cable liner (like a straw) that is longer than the top tube, you can:
Remove the rear most brake housing,
Slide the straw onto the remaining cable,
Continue to push the straw over the cable so the straw goes through the top tube and exits out the front.
At this point, the straw will span the entire length of the top tube. Tape the ends down, then pull he cable out of the straw. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.

on the front impossible.. from the inside the hole is just big enough for the cable, nothing else ..

anyway thanks, I removed my fork, I took a shifter s housing, put that inside the tiop tube from the back thats it..

I'll second the cable liners. I used to change cables regularly on my Guru Geneo and did it slick as greased pig shit with the use of cable liners.
