The nylon rudder control cable frayed and snapped and is now so far up the rudder control tube housing I can't get it back out to tie it back on. How am I supposed to thread a new nylon cable through this thing? It should be a super simple repair yet there is no way to get the cable through the tubing!

You can push the new line through from the front end. That or a piano wire fed through and pull.

What part number is the new line? I can't seem to find it. Also how thin of wire do I need? Will any piano wire do?

Part number 81054. By the foot.

I am told that this line can be pushed through.

Not sure on the wire type. Thin of course!
