[QUOTE="buckwill, post: 109860, member: 18347"] this may sound counter intuitive but it works, water is a great solvent for rust, it dissolves t (with mechanical agitation) and carries it away, free a rusty nut and bolt sometime in a bucket of water and u will see what i mean,, now if u can get the cable out and it has the solid core inner wire, take it out, , pull the inner core out completely if uts not kinked on the end, if it is kinked do you have enough to trim it back some so your putting a straight wire back in??, now run water!! into the housing to flush rust out, perhaps running core wire thru also at this time ur flushing out the accumulated rust, when it works freely, now flush with wd40 hanging it vertically so water and wd40 drips from the bottom of open cable housig, when no more water comes out mebbe dry the housing over a heated air sourcem, mebbe a furnace vent or in front of shop heater, dont burn the plastic, put it under the hood of yr truck or car, restrain it in some way so it doesnt get into car parts/belts etc, put a dab of grease in cable hsg and reassemble, ive done this many times over the coarse of, oh 55/60 years or so, occasionally i have thrown cables away generally because of sheer frustration or deminishing returns for labor, have fun, let us know, buck [/QUOTE]
