If I hook a cable to it, I bends the cable when I move the lever. I can open the hood and move it by hand and it doesn't leak so that is what i have been doing. I know I should just throw down the $50 for a new one but the eternal cheapskate in me is thinking there has to be a way to loosen it up. Any Idea's?
