Can't speak for 2nd gen (2016 and later), but it it's 1st gen, you should inform your friend that he should pony up and pay a shop to do it. There is no internal shifter housing of any kind in that frame (nor guides of any kind). Pulling cable will be easy; installing a new one requires removal of BB if you don't have the right tools.

Literally took me more than 3 hours the first (and only time) I did it. The next time I needed the cable replaced, I dropped it off at the shop and was very happy to pay $20 for the service fee.
Do not have the tools. I've had two Scott Plasmas and they actually had housing run full length, but still a bit awkward. I suppose I'll tidy it up for him, pull the cable, and tell him hit the shop and beg for emergency assistance. TY guys.
