You see on the cable about half way down there's a rippled cover. Move it up and loosen the cable a good about. You can then remove the clutch cable from the housing on the handle. Slip the tool over and use your choice of cable lube. I use a Honda all purpose lube. Works on cables. So far I have 8600 miles on the cable with no wear showing. Crossing fingers.

BTW, recommend you getting the service manual, it will explain this better than I can.
