The wrong type of lube may gum things up and cause more problems and over-lubing may cause some of the lubricant to migrate up to the speedometer head, which ain't pretty.
It may take some fiddlin' to get the cable back into the housing and fully seated at the connectors, but it's not a bad job. (It's probably easier on a truck than a car). It's just car maintenance 101.
Good luck on your project.

Thanks.
So if I understand correctly - just pull the internal cable out and don't remove the cable housing itself? I assume I'll need to disconnect the speedometer cable from both ends however? I've looked and both sides are accessible with little effort.
I'll go to parts store and get the lube and then check back later.
Thanks again
