Good thinking guys and it may well come to that.....I just called a friend who was a mechanic "back in the day" and he suggested penetrating oil the length of the cable. I'll try that tomorrow then get back on these things Friday.

If it comes to it, I'll remove the struts as suggested in the other thread and have a shop fix it or hire a shop guy to come to my garage (if any are game) and at least get me going until I can get it to a shop.
