Abstract: A system and a method for removing a portion of an electric submersible pump power cable conduit housing are provided. The method may include cutting a conduit housing of the conduit, sliding the cut conduit housing off the conduit, and squaring an end surface of remaining conduit housing. The cutting of the conduit housing is not a through cut and the sliding of the cut conduit housing off of the cut conduit is performed with a conduit housing spreader. The system may include a conduit housing cutter for cutting partially through the conduit housing of the conduit and a conduit housing spreader for pulling the portion of the conduit housing apart from a remaining conduit housing. In addition, the system may include a squaring tool to square an end surface of the remaining conduit housing relative to an axis of the conduit.
