Thanks Gene. Going through the cable hole would have been my first attempt. Thanks for confirming it's doable and it yielded good results. -Dick-

Then drip maybe five or six drops of Super Lube into the little hole the cable goes into. I did this a year ago and not a sound since. Obviously not as precise or thorough as others are suggesting, but a quick and easy first try. Worked for me.
Dennis says Super Lube and at 5 bucks, why not? I strongly suggest the bottle, not a spray can. Spraying into a confined hole tends to blow back and also lubricate your eyes, effective but painful. How would I know that?
