Sometimes the cables get to the point of either needing replacement or lubrication. I have read people that say they have lubed the cables and all went well and they moved much better. And some have said it didn’t help. I think that I would try lubricating them before replacing them. This is assuming that the tech didn’t do something to stop them from moving at the injector pump. One way to lube them is on the Trojan owners website. It involved pouring a certain amount of Marvel Mystery Oil in for the length of cable, I don’t recall the number of ounces. Then putting a Schrader valve on a short piece of hose and putting air pressure to blow the oil down the cable. Do a search on the Trojan web site for a full description. Good luck.
