Can anyone tell me if it is possible to unfreeze a steering cable and how?

" If the cable itself is bad,

" If the cable itself is bad, you might as well get a new one. If it is frozen in the steering tube, the cable can be removed and the tube cleaned. Remove the nut on the steering cable that attaches to the tube. You should be able to move the cable in and out of the tube without too much resistance. "

" My cable has no nut that can

" My cable has no nut that can be removed in order to get it apart. This is the way I did, when my steering cable began to seize (still possible to move though). The goal is to bring grease inside the cable end (motor end).
I will try to explain it without any pictures.
If you take cable end out of the tilt tube (motor hinge), you will find the cable end tube has its inner diameter giuded by an ?nner guide tube? Throughout the whole stroke of the cable end there is no opening to bring in the grease, and it doesn? seem to be any way to disasseble it.
For this solution getting in the grease, it is necessary that the outer diameter of the cable end has a snug fit inside the tilt tube.

Turn the steering wheel to fully extend the the cable end.

Pull out the cable from the tilt tube, so far that you can see the whole ?nner guide tube?
Put a thick layer of grease on to the ?nner guide tube?

Put the cable end back in place into the tilt tube. The grease should now fill up the whole available volume inside the tilt tube.

Turn the steering wheel to fully retract the the cable end. The available volume will decrease, and the grease has to go somewhere. If you are lucky the grease will go through the gap between the cable end tube and the ?nner guide tube? and then it? inside.

This has to be repeated until you have got enough grease into the system.

Of course the unit has to be ?xercised?during the procedure, to work the grease further inside.
It worked for me, hope it will work for you.

" I would suggest to you to toss that cable and buy a new one. If you ever saw what happens when a steering cable broke while under way at high speed, you will know that a new cable is cheap!! "
