Also: if you live in a cold climate, the cable can freeze and a single pull can break the DHC on day one. It's absolutely essential that you don't yank if it's frozen.

In my DLA repair thread I do an experiment where I exactly reproduce the freeze that locks up the DLA that will break the DHC if you pull hard.
