I use this method all the time and teach it at our mechanics series at our shop. One thing that I would add is that Tri-Flow is about the best rust remover I have ever used. I used to work in an auto repair shop. We tried every industrial strength rust penetrant that you can buy on the market, but nothing worked as well as Tri-Flow. It will get the rusty grime off cables and from the inside of housings. It also has Teflon, which is a pretty slippery lubricant. I do not work for Tri-Flow, nor am I affiliated with that company in any way! I just found out that it really works well, and if you use the drip applicator bottle, it will make your technique on lubing cables even better. Just wanted to chime in with that tip, and to say that you guys are doing a great job! Keep up the good work! Great tip!
