Hey whoa there, cable maintenance is important. I just stumbled across this, after I lubed mine today. Lol

I sprayed the white magic stuff into the end as best as I could. Pulled the latch up and down. Stuck my air nozzle into the edge between the cable and its housing and blew a little. Repeat (3x).

Under the hood I just sprayed the hell out it and pulled the latch in and out to work it in.

The thing is, you really only have to worry about the ends, that's where moisture gets in.

I have a brake cable from a motorcycle hanging on my wall that I've been spraying Pb blaster into daily for almost two months. Finally ordered a new one.

Man you really called that one.
