So I fortunately had some oil with me (would have preferred 3in1 I guess, but all I had was some basic oil) so I dropped some of that on and left it for a while. Then when I returned, and gave it a good strong pull, it finally came lose.

So I don't want this to happen again. Should I just leave the oil on there, or grease the rod, or do any of you use spray on 'dry-lube' for these?

Thanks!

Glad you got it loose. Normally the problem is the cable run not the rod the cable is attached to.
