Default unsticking cables

The defrost cable is stuck on my Musketeer. It's just a wire encased in
another spirally wound wire.
Any suggestions?


Spray lube on as much of the exterior of the cable housing as you can
get to. The lube will soak into the spiral wrap, and free up the wire
core (hopefully!). This technique generally works on the older style
control cables that do not have a plastic inner lining.

Happy Flying!
