1) Slide an appropriate diameter plastic tubing (6
inches long) over the cable end.
2) Build up the cable housing with plastic or duct tape to the inside diameter
of the tubing.
3) Use a hose clamp to tighten the plastic tubing to the cable, clamp to
vise and fill the tubing with Liquid Wrench, Kroil, PB Blaster, whatever
penetrant works best for you.
4) Let it soak for hours, days, weeks, whatever. If you have an air compressor,
put the air nozzel inside the plastic tubing, clamp tight and put the air
pressure to it. Move the cable if you can, if not let it soak under pressure.
After time the air pressure will force the fluid thru and free up the cable.
This is also a good way to lubricate the cable if you don't have a store
bought tool.
