We've been trying to resurrect our original white steering cable in our southwind 20. Been squirting pb blaster down the cable for a few days now. Any suggestions?

Scott,
It sounds like you have fallen for the advertising BS and bought the "cr*p in a can"

Hopefully you don't fall for other advertising BS hype like for Fram filters too!

Here's the list of torque requirments copied from the other thread:

Penetrating oil ..... Average load
None ...................... 516 pounds
WD-40 ................... 238 pounds
PB Blaster ............... 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ......... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil .............. 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix.......53 pounds

I don't even consider WD40 to be a penetrating oil so that puts PB at the bottom for me. Kroil is a on line order only so when I was taking my 1927 Flexifour apart and trying to break the rusted pistons loose, I did pick up a can of PB. A week went by with no luck and then the Kroil came in. The next day after using some of the Kroil, all four pistons were loose. I ended up using the PB as a honing lubricant!

The home brew ATF and reducing it with a solvent is real interesting! I need to mix up a batch and give it a try.


Squirtng just the end won't do it. Some have used a lenght of rubber hose clamped off to the other jacket, filled it with a decent penetrating oil and them hooked up the compresed air to force the lube all the way through to the other end. It is successful at times. If not, a new cable is in order.

For $105, just get a new one. You need a 17' cable.
