Please consider subscribing and share any tips and suggestions with me. I would like to say I have gotten alot better with making videos since I uploaded this 3 years ago.

I have a old WD-40 can that I use to do the same thing sort of. A couple inches from the top I drilled a hole on the side of the can and I put in a tire valve stem in it. Now the part of the can that had the sprayer on it, I pulled all that out of it and put in its place a thick rubber cork/stopper. The rubber plug or whatever - I drilled a hole into it - that hole is for placing the end of a throttle/brake - any cable - lawn mower cables mostly is what I do. So the hole pressure fits and seals around the sleeve of the cable. I have a WIDE hose clamp that is bent over on one side - I put the folded over side over the rubber stopper - and clamp it down. I use automatic transmission fluid and that is mixed in with some thinner All-In-One oil (whatever it's called 4 n 1 or 3 n 1 - anyways any light oil to thin it down more works) - The automatic transmission fluid prevents rust for one - and it penetrates through the entire cable - regular motor oil is thick and doesn't do that very well unless it's up to a certain temperature. I fill the can half way with the mix before I put the rubber plug in with the cable. I put the end of the cable into a 5 gallon bucket with some blue shop towels to prevent oil spraying everywhere. The cable goes all the way to the bottom of the can - so the thing works like a regular aerosol can but with more pressure - no worries about blowing up because it's got that hole in it where the cable is at - it acts like the tube that used to be in it. The thinner oil plus the pressure of the air pushing only the oil through, takes a few minutes - and that's setup time! What's nice is I can do this while the cable is still attached to whatever I'm working on! I hope you dig my little invention lol! Thanks for sharing yours! - PS, I have a few different rubber stoppers with different size holes! I tried using a big farmers syringe thing for giving cattle medicine orally - since I had a few of them around that I use to put methanol and other race fuel inside RC monster trucks - but they couldnt push enough pressure into the cables.

[@wholegrain27]

@@AEON. I'm thinking of doing something very similar to your idea. Glad to see yours worked. I'll use AT fluid mixed with acetone..... read about this mixture awhile back and have found its a great penetrating fuild.

[@AEON.]

@@wholegrain27 It's great but it also swells rubber so it can be used in tires of lawn mowers and stuff to help seal the inside of the tire from cracks on old rubber. I put it on the cracks on the outside of the tires as well to help them last a bit longer - its nice because if you run over a nail or something like that it will auto seal if its saturated enough and has some moving around in it. we do this with old tractor tires too because they are so fricken expensive - especially new ones now a days. But yeah, it will swell rubber some. It also swells the rubber stopper with the hole drilled in it so make sure to take that into account before pressurizing it - just make sure the fluid doesnt seal the inside hole you drilled lol - I hope it works! If you can find this post again let us know! Cheers bud! Have a good week!

[@waltparkhurst2494]

My grandpa showed me this over 30 years ago But He used brake fluid. That was one of the best ideas grandpa shared. I miss him dearly.

I sure do miss mine too Walt. I appreciate the view and ya checking it out and sharing what he used! I'll have to give that one a try myself!

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@12misericordia]

the problem is not the video,,,,,the problem is wait 3 days to unstuck the cable........ : (

[@kirkjohnson9353]

@@12misericordia I did it in a few minutes by leaving the bottle intact and squeezing it to pressurize the cable.

[@eugenelapointe2840]

That's not what he said, ; , He said that there were no other videos using that method. I quiet certain he watches You-Tube, on videos about un-sticking cables. Then making him aware of other Video methods. His was, as He said, an Original Method! Reading or Listening to words forming sentences is one thing. Having an ability to intrepid what's being said is another.

[@morganchetty7593]

Myself too. Haven't seen any video on this

[@trendynick3650]

I’m going to try this on a motorcycle throttle cable that’s been sitting since 1995… I’m more concerned about a rust spot creating a weak spot on the cable but if I get the bike to run and the engine sounds good I’ll just replace the cable. My goal is to not spend a dime till I hear the engine running. I sprayed PB Blaster in it and let it hang for the past few days with no luck. Appreciate the advice and video! 💪

[@deoeers]

I have to thank you. I followed this to the letter with a cable that was in my opinion a write off. I set up you iv drip for about a week. Absolutely worked. Nice one mate.

[@GoldBug79]

Great feedback to hear! Cheers!

[@jeffhetich5777]

its so nice to see good ole hillbilly engineering at a practicle level. Thanks bud

[@TrinidadTwirlygigs]

You're a backyard GENIUS! I did your drip method overnight on a frozen mower throttle cable, the old style with the wound wire shroud. I used 2 cycle oil (from Ass Hardware, which after properly mixed with gas, burned up my weed whip!) But it freed my cable!

[@ktbowersbellsouth]

Naaastaay

[@matthewvanderbeek2847]

Depending on the cable and what it is. Usually not that crazy price to buy a new one. Worth giving it a try. Probably around 60 bucks for a new one for most people. 60 bucks worth of peace of mind.

[@genecurrivan2799]

Bonus points for you.. fully original... You're a credit to our nation!!!

[@michaelrickman3161]

Once you have the cable moving a bit, you can attach the drill to the inner cable, and spin it slowly spreading the oil inside the tubing, then gradually work it in and out while spinning the cable. It won't take 3 days that way.

[@joshualundberg7577]

That's what she said.

[@Fishman9998]

For those commenting to just buy a new cable, I have a stuck accelerator cable on a 2 tonne mini-excavator. Replacement is $260. This seems worth a shot

I am so trying this trick in a minute !! Thanks very simple but great idea gonna save me alot of $$$ Like my Dad always says 2 heads is better than one.

[@GoldBug79]

I agree with that!

[@milesbeck9444]

I ordered a wrong size, so just used my old brake cable that was stuck and used this method. It worked thank you

[@GoldBug79]

Glad to hear some good feedback! Thanks for checking it out!

[@livenfree]

INGENIOUS! GREAT IDEA! LOVE IT! I was trying to think of a way to do this today for my lawn mower safety break cable because the shop wants $46 for it! About what I paid for the mower! lol So I thought about duck taping the end of the cable to a funnel and letting it flow in that way. But ended up just submerging it in a 1 gallon motor oil jug with new oil in it. But I like your idea a lot better because I wont know if the oil went in or not and I can't test if it is free. One idea I just thought of though is use Transmission fluid. I was told to use it to free up a car engine that had sat for years and was stuck from rust in the cylinders. And after 24 hours it turned over smooth as can be. I was told it breaks down rust. So might work faster for these cables! :)

[@kirkjohnson9353]

Your idea saved me some money and time on a QT50 cable. Washed some sand right out and made it work like new. Thanks so much for posting this video.

[@cameronchapman2677]

Choke lever on my Honda Big Red had split in two, as the choke cable was stuck fast. Just used your method to free it up, here in Bonnie Scotland. I used a mix of 3 in 1 oil and WD40, as it was all I had lying around but it’s a thin mixture that seemed to flow freely into the cable, despite the narrow diameter. It completely freed up the cable in just over 24hrs. Thanks very much for this tip 🙏🏼

Good to hear! Thanks for sharing.

[@GoldBug79]

Thanks for dropping a comment!

[@bigsmoke1811]

Great method but consider instead of drilling a hole in the other side of the bottle try gently squeezing it until some oil goes through then squeeze harder until the cable is free. much faster and you can re-use the bottle

[@WilliamsonGene]

I can re-use my water bottle? Thanks man, you just saved me a lot of money!

I did this first but cable was too frozen

[@omgitsdollarbill6859]

It's not a perfect seal. Won't you push oil in-between the cap and cable

[@neilcrompton3488]

Brake cables are dirt cheap,if u cant free it just fit a new one 😉

[@roddiel1274]

You can speed the method up if you have a air compressor, by using a rubber hose that just fits over the cable..slide hose over the end of the cable put a clamp on it, pour some oil in the hose and put your air gun nozzle in the end of the hose and shoot the air to it forcing the oil through the cable till it comes out the other end!

[@knighthawk86855]

I have a motorcycle brake cable oiler works on the same principle as this, but with it, you clamp the tool around the end, and on the side of the tool is a tiny hole big enough for a red tiny straw you get with cans, and you spray the lube, rather it be wd40 or pblaster into it, and that forces the lube into the sleeve of the cable, I will try your method but maybe with a little compressed air to force the oil or wd40 down the cable, I would also try a stronger bottle so it doesn't expand so easily, but super awesome idea, now to figure out how to do the mower cables with a big end on them.

"Get some oil and pour it into the bottle" - the oil was already in an ice mountain bottle!!! Lol interesting tips though. Thanks!

Reason for that is because that bottle cap did not belong to that bottle. In my mind i cannot mix up bottle caps. They must stay with orginal bottle. 😂

I had two cables stuck solid today on a 120cc snowmobile im fixing up. What I did was use a piece of shrink tube, shrunk onto the outside of the sheath, and then used that like a funnel. Filled it up with deepy creepy and its still hanging up. Thinking it should work just as good as your idea!

for stubborn ones, i use acetone + ATF ;)

[@magicone9327]

Try using a 9 volt battery. Touch each end of the cable, one to the positive and the other end to the negative of the battery. Do this for 5 secs at a time. In between each charge to make the cable get hot, move the cable back and forth while squirting in something like blaster rust remover. Once its lose spray it clean with carb spray, then blow it dry with compressed air. Then use 30 w motor oil to finish lube it. Takes about 30:min.

I wonder if you used PB Blaster, Carb cleaner or some other solvent it would work faster? Pull the end of the cable closer to the cap so you wouldn't have to use as much liquid...

[@seanvogel8067]

The oil was in a soda bottle, not a water bottle. So yes, make sure you put the oil in a soda bottle and then pour it into the water bottle. In case you took that seriously, I'm pretty sure the soda bottle contained the oil he originally used to fix the cable shown in his demonstration. He just used that instead of pouring more from the oil container.

I have a rear brake housing and brake line that is tight... so I took all the brake line and housing off bike and soaked brake line in mineral spirits in a bucket and then poured mineral spirits down the housings until I saw it coming out other end. Meaning it went thru inside of housing cable. Yes yes I wasted a lot of minerals spirits doing it but whatever and that said and done my brakes are still sticky.. however this method worked excellent for my front brakes... I ride shimano 5800 brakes on carbon wheels... I'm not riding with stuff not being cared for is what I'm saying... I ride alot and wash my bike a lot so water seeps into the brake lines and rusts the shit out. That said this is only video of trouble shooting brake line/housings for if there tight and what how to re loosen them... all in all I'm thinking just buy a new set of brake line and housings but ther has to be something for the temporary fix... I think this method of this video is 100 percent awesome since he thot of it and if it works than the results say it's awesome . However that motor is too thick for my running that on roadbike brakes... maybe a motorcycle or atv... anyway minerals spirits clean off and degrease stuff super well as well as evaporates and dries on it's own... it tripping me up why rear brake is still tight I know one factor is that it travels farther and has a lot more turns and line but idk Peace guys cool friggin stuff!

Been doing that trick since the early 70's. After the last ride in the fall we would hang all our cables up with bottles on both ends. Every couple of weeks we would switch the bottom end up to the top to let them soak all winter. Good trick for cables but not a new procedure.

Interesting I could do that on my moped rear brake cable but it's only six bucks for a new cable what if I come across any other cables that are expensive and they're frozen I can do that
