In a May 10 posting on Rudder Cable Systems JJ had a great list of things to check on during annual inspections. Item #1 dealt with the nylon sleeve in the "S" tube that prevents metal-to-metal contact. While working on my DISCUS B yesterday I noticed that the nylon sleeves on both "S" tubes had migrated aft -- out of the top of the "S" tube, resulting in metal-to-metal contact at the lower end of the "S" tube. Tried to shove them back in but to no avail. Is there a magic way to correct this situation?

Want to fix this before flying again.

You may need to disconnect one end of the rudder cables to remove
tension in the "S" to allow the tube to be pushed back into position.
It would be a good time to thoroughly inspect the cable for wear or
frayed cable end sticking out that may have slowly pushed the tube out
of position.
