Re-conditioning rear E-brake cables
Thanks to TA455HO I now have a nice original set of rear e-brake cables for my 66 F250. The long spring on my original cables had broken in half making them useless for setting and releasing the e-brake.
My question is this: Is there anything I should do to my "new" cables? The cable seems to move pretty easily in the tube but it feels a tiny bit sticky. I thought of simply soaking them in some 20 wgt motor oil or some tranny fluid to lubricate inside the tube. Any thoughts or suggestions? How were these things lubricated from the factory?
