Hold a putty knife or other suitable protection behind the heat-shrink tubing to shield the surrounding components from heat.

Heat the sleeve with hot air gun: 9512777 and a suitable nozzle. It is important that the heat-shrink tubing is shrunk around the cable. It should be possible to see some adhesive that has squeezed out around the cable.
