Default Electronic TE compensation, will this work?

Just pull the adapter (with tube attached) out of the fin leading edge and install new one:

Should be possible with little effort, the adapter is just glued to place.

Thanks Krasw
Just got the drawings from Grob (linder). It does look like there is a barbed fitting at the end of the TE socket, and it seem like that is what has broken off based on the photo i took. Seems like having that whole tube replaced by an A&P isn't going to too bad of a process, but who knows, could turn out to be a pain. Really don't want them to have to cut any holes in the skin or have to do any major composite work. Will chat with the A&P and composite shop about this.

In LA, so pretty far. I have already spoken to Robert about it.
