While difficult, you can cut off some of the outer cable to effectively make the inner free length longer. I use a triangular file to cut the outer cable in one spot and then unwind the part to be removed. the hardest part is usually getting the cap to slide off the outer cable first so you can slide it back on after.
 
just fixed with delicate surgery using Dremel cutoff wheel and needle nose pliers thanks fo the tip
