Rotary N618 Lock Release Cable Guide – Bicycle Style Replacement
The lock release cable guide (Rotary part number N618) is a small but critical component on 2-post automotive lifts. It slides over the lock release cable and guides it from the top of the lift column over the overhead beam, so the cable travels a smooth, consistent path each time the lock release is operated. The “bicycle style” name refers to the cable-housing design where the guide keeps the inner cable protected and on track as it bends around the column. Over time, the guide groove can wear, crack, or deform from heat and repeated friction, causing the cable to stick or bind when you pull the lock release handle. Replacing the N618 guide restores smooth, reliable operation and helps extend cable life.

Fitment & Ordering Notes
- This listing is for 1 piece. Each lift requires 2 guides (one per column side).
- N618 vs. N619: The N618 is the cable guide sleeve that slides over the cable. The N619 is a separate cable end bracket that holds the N618 guide in place. If the bracket housing is damaged, you need the N619. Verify which component is worn before ordering.
- The N618 is for smaller-capacity Rotary 2-post models. Larger-capacity models may use different cable guide components.
