<VV> Speedo Squeal

[J R Read_HML]

Actually, the WD40 will not last nearly as long as the cable lube you can 
get at the FLAPS.  It is messy to work with, but since you are going as far 
as you are, why not use it?  It contains graphite suspended in ??? (a very 
thin grease?).  Pull the inner cable out (top end) - squirt the lube in the 
cable housing and give it some time to settle in.  Push the inner portion 
back in (adding more lube as it goes in) and hook things up at the bottom 
and top ends.  You need to be careful not to get the lube on anything 
important (like your upholstery or carpet).

Later, JR
