apparently the cable and valve is accessible as you describe it.
Why not go on amazon, get a new assy install and be done with it?
The OP says, "It's in a really bad spot".
So far all the posts deal with lubrication of the cable.
Maybe it will help - maybe not......The cable/s sometimes have a bit of slack behind the pull knob (from repeated use), -or- the cable has developed a kink due to sloppy routing (and clamps) by the mfgr.
Often it may be MUCH simpler and easier to check the cable!!
Disconnect the cable at the valve - and see if the valve will move freely.
If it does = cable is the problem.
If it does *not* move easily....unfortunately, it's probably time to replace the valve assembly...:(
Not expensive - but it can be a real "PITA" if it's in a "bad spot".
No need to ask how I know...:W
