[s-cars] Guide Pin Lube and park cables

What should I use to lube the guide pins on stock brakes?  High temp bearing
grease?  Lithium grease? Lard???

I just spent about an hour freeing two guide pins from my left rear
carrier.  One was actually slightly bent, how's that happen?  New/used
carrier in my parts bin, so I'm not sure why I bothered.

And does anyone have any "tricks" for connecting new park brake cables to
the front hook?  Got the passenger one, but the drivers is killing me.  Just
no room to work unless you drop the exhuast AND the driveshaft.  Don't
really want to do either, but short of getting one of the neighbor kids with
tiny little hands to do it, I'm stumped.  So far, this has been way more of
a PITA than the heater blower motor, and that sucked.

Any help/advice appreciated.
