Oh dear…

I am changing the dropper seat post on my carbon Levo and I accidentally pulled the outer cable a bit too far..

I pulled the cable from the front and the outer has now gone out of sight in the seat tube. When I try to push it back it hits something and does not appear in the seat tube.
Does anyone know how to re-install this internal cable. I guess I might have to remove the battery and motor. Arrgghhhh!!

I have sorted this. I removed the battery and could see the end of the outer next to the motor. There is a guide but it needs to turn 90 deg upwards and go up the seat tube, hence why it would not push back. All I had to do was get some slack and push the cable up the seat tube-job done!
That is nice simple routing. I had read about the gen 2 routing and had assumed the worst.

About to change my Gen 3 cable. So all I need to do to install the new cable is pull the battery, route the housing through the front cable routing at the head tube, then I can work it around the motor into the seat tube?

Yes for the lower bb area.

For the head tube side I have not done this. I would use a rockshox cable joiner and link the old one to the new one then pull it through or tape the new outer to the old one.
