[FC] hard time getting brake cable off..tips?

[Paul Steinberg]

If it is that corroded that it will not come apart, then it needs to be 
replaced.  Usually they are rusted inside and replacement is the best route 
to take.  There is a new type of brake tubing that is easy to bend, and it 
doesn't rust like the old stuff.  It is available at NAPA and Carquest and 
possibly other places also.  Clarks has the original looking pre bent tubing 
if you want to keep it all original.  Paul in CT
