Guys, what is the best way to lubricate my accelerator cable. Can I just squirt some wd down the sheath or is there some way of greasing it up etc.

BTW It's on the car at the moment.

Probably to disconnect it at the t/b end so you can get the end higher than the pedal then spray some graphite lube down it.

Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE-FUCHS-SILKOLENE-GRAPHITE-PENETRATING-SPRAY-400ML-R1-R6-GSXR-RD-GS-YZ-/120944155775?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item1c28d55c7f

It has loads of uses round the car, locks, hinges etc.
