Putting a new end on a XLR cable

I have a pair of Tara Labs 3 meter interconnects and I’ve lost a wire connection in the left cable. (It’s playing softer than the right one) For the life of me, I can’t figure out how they built it so I can take the end off, re solder the connection and put it back together. If I can’t figure out how to do it myself, My other options are cutting the end off and buying a good XLR plug or sending it back to the company and potentially paying as much as $500 for the repair.

Anyone here know how to take apart a Tara Labs XLR cable?

Thanks in advance.

I just looked online and it stated that Tara Labs interconnects have a lifetime guarantee. so this should be covered for free.

Thanks curiousjim. I wonder then if they have bonded the two sections together? Anyway, it looks like it's out with the cable cutters :((

Tara Labs is a pretty good company and they should be able to fix the cable under warranty or relatively inexpensively. Did they really say that it would be $500 to fix the cable? If they did I find that hard to believe.

The lifetime warranty is for the original owner. These are second hand.
