I read somewhere, maybe here, that that's the best way to lube them. Undo the cables at the twist grip and you'll want to shoot yourself in the head tying to put the assembly back together. I shot lithium grease up my cables and the first time I twisted the grip the drag on the cables was nasty. They got normal very quickly though. I used one of those cable oilers with the thumb screw on it. Pick your own poison for cable lube (I don't advise WD40).
