If you find the cable needs lubing it is not hard but you need to remove the cable.
Tools: cable, baggie, rubber band and lube of choice.
Poke the cable thru a corner of the baggie about a 6" to 12" and pull it back up to the end of the outer part of the cable.
Wrap the rubber band around the baggie holding it tight to the cable.
Now slide it baggie & rubber band up to the very end of the outer cable.
Find a place you can hang the cable from the baggie end for this next part.
Pour a little of the lube of choice in the baggie, it does not take a lot.
Let the lube work it's way down the inside of the cable.
Maybe move the inner cable in and out a few times to work the lube.
Also note when the lube makes it's way down it will drip out so have something to catch the drops.
