In my SOB I had cables that worked real har, like two hands needed and I was worried I would break one with a full tank so I just started shooting WD40 into the cables by the handle and after awhile of squirting and working the handles they began to ease up and eventually got to working pretty good. Fortunately I avoided breaking them.
