A good place to start is the FAQs and Video Sleeving Guides. The Molex ATX pin removing tool from MDPC-Xwill make removing cables easier than with other tools but may take a few practices to get it right. You can sleeve the ribbon...

I had a similar problem with soldered joints breaking on my LED strips so I used a glue gun to drop a spot of glue on each one which seems to have stopped them breaking and doesn't seem to be badly affected by heating up the heatshrink.

You can get the 'bunching' if you don't stretch the sleeve tightly enough before tacking onto the pin. Also if you've tacked the sleeve too far onto the pin it can stop the pin engaging correctly. Can you do a photo of a sleeve wire...

I make my own but agree with 'lowfat'. They're the most time consuming cables to make and no one would buy mine if I charged an hourly rate for making them as there's close to 2 hours work in each one. They end up looking like this:

They just look like bungs to stop bits getting inside the radiator when shipping. If they are bungs you need to replace them with proper, screw in, stop plugs.

This is the one I used. The threads are all the same on those as I had 60mm and 100mm length ones. Bear in mind that Phobya don't really innovate they just copy and it looks as though they copied EK in this instance.
