This is exactly what my Teflon injector did. I made a brass hole drill out of K&S tubing and chucked it in a Dremel tool. It's very controllable, and easily drills a hole in the Nylaflow and even if you bump into the steel cable, the brass is too soft to damage it. The method was to drill the holes in the tubing just behind the seat where they cross over (approximately the half-way point.) Do not use a regular drill bit -- it cuts badly and can nick the cable.

After reading about all the difficulties in lubing the tube I'm tempted to
drill a small hole in the tube at about the halfway point so lube can be
injected there. Make sense? It will be much easier since I haven't yet
installed the cable, but I would think that with careful work one could put
a hole in the tube with the cable inside. Perhaps by turning the drill bit
by hand.

[It might be better to get a set of gasket punches and use a small one to make the hole in the tubing. I picked up a cheap set at Harbor Freight and have found countless uses for it along the way... this would be one of them. <Marv> ]
