There are 2 main types of cables on your bicycle, Derailleur and Brake, and two of each of those.
The derailleur cable controls either the front or rear derailleur (gear changer),
The brake cable controls either the front or rear brake.
There are many different types of bicycles and controlling mechanisms. Manuals are available from the individual component companies (ex. A shimano derailleur manual, can be found at
www.shimano.com) but you need to know the model of that companies derailleur to get the correct manual. One other hindrance may be whether you have the correct tools, most derailleurs cables can install with basic tools such as allen wrenches and screwdrivers but brakes can require specialty tools.
I would recommend or suggest that you take the bike into your local bike shop and have them replace the cable quickly and properly. Since that is where you will have to buy the cable anyway, Many times these same bike shops have extra manuals laying around from new bike builds that will instruct you the basics of the components you are working on, just ask, They are free cause they throw them away anyway.
