Carry a wheel chock(sp?)....seriously though i wouldnt know how to stop it from freezing...if i had to guess though, it is a cable system so maybe lubing the cable could be a solution?????

yep it is a cable system......how would i lube the cables?.....they are wrapped in rubber to protect them and i don't really know how to take them off....anyone know how to lube em'?

i have already lubed all the e-brake parts in the rear rotor's on both sides...but couldn' see how it would be posible to lube the cables and thougt what i did the first time around would work.....now i just need to know how i would go about lubing both cables....Anyone?

It requires a special tool called a "cable luber".....it looks like this

how's it work?

**Robman7835** · 11-30-2006 11:39 AM

You unhook the cable from one end and put this over top of it....it creates a seal over the cable end when you clamp down the handscrew....then using a lube with a straw you spray it in the desided hole on the tool and it forces the lube down the cable inside the isulation....it'll make more sense when you actually have the tool at hand and your trying to connect it to the cable.....my old streetbike had a super stiff clutch cable and i went out and bought a kit that came with the tool and lube for like ten bucks and it worked like a champ...

Cool sounds like it'll work, but we'll see. Thank you for the tip.

I would just look at you local auto store like autozone or advanced auto parts...they should have it........i got mine at a local cycle shop so i cant say for sure if they will have it or not.....
