Jason,
Use a balloon. Fill it with a little oil...blow it up a bit...insert cable
into balloon...secure....turn upside down. From MGNOC tips book #1.
Ciao...Ian

It's messy, it's hard to get the oil to go down into the hole, yadda, yadda, yadda. I think 'there's got to be a better way' so I'm soliciting advice. Any advice? My technique is brute force and ignorance. I don't really recommend it. I was thinking that maybe I could get some tubing and zip tie one end onto the end of the cable, and the other onto an oil (like WD40) spray nozzle, then pressure-feed oil into the housing. What do ya'll do? Jason |
