I have always used white lith (spray can) with good results. If you pull the cable out of the housing use brake clean on the cable. If there is much rust should just spend the $20.00 and replace.

I think you can simply pull the actual insides out of the sheathing, then put a little white lith grease in the palm of your hand and pull the cable through it to grease it up. Then slide it back into the cable housing and re-attach at both ends.
