I would just use motor oil like they recommend.
Second, about the nut, penetrating oil takes some time, (I figured you used like WD-40) so just give it a rest and try again tomorrow.
Good luck.

I never thought about the ziploc, that's a very good idea which I'll try tomorrow. I did oil up the nut and cable as much as I could and planned to leave it for a day or two, so hopefully it'll work with time. Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
