It worked until I moved to Tennessee. Have you tried removing it and soaking it in some kind of penetrating oil?

My e brake for my 80 series was frozen solid, but my mechanic was able to free it with little effort just by removing it and dinking with it.

I haven’t yet, but will when I pull it. Not a big deal at all. Zeke’s running great.

All of my spare time has been taken up w/ my wife’s beater 80. Zeke is next!

Here’s the 80… and my wife installing some fatmat.

You must have really turned on the charm, eh Bob?
 
Searched around on the 'Tube. Found this guy's method for freeing up cables. Seems worth a try to me. Simple. I like that:



Some of the comments got me laughing.

For example... one responder wrote:

"I used 2 cycle oil (from Ass Hardware, which after properly mixed with gas, burned up my weed whip!) But it freed my cable!"

I gave up on fixing old throttle cables when I had one stick. I avoided tragedy, but others may not be so lucky. Throttle cables should be available so no need to salvage old stuff. I think the one for my fj55 was about $30.
