Hi Neville,
The cables fit through quite a thin tube but with care you can get a
drawstring through....we wrapped some thin but strong string around a goodly
length of the wire cable and wrapped it with electrical tape. If anything more
than minor resistance pull it back out and try and get it thinner.
Cut the cable, pull it out then lay it out with the end on a screw
attached to a piece of wood or some thing solid. Swage one end of the new cable
...lay it out along side of the old cable and use a marker pen at the other end
to indicate where the swage will ultimately go then feed it back in and swage
when back inside.
Replacing all cables so often is VERY conservative but we found that the
rudder pedal cables that go through some sharp turns can, in fact need it.
I thought the Slick magneto was every 500 hours.. We haven't managed to get
to 5 years.
cheers

It seems that my recently imported H36, despite
having had an annual plus an export C of A (at a cost of 1700 euros) and
declared airworthy, is overdue for the two yearly strip/inspection of the Slick
magneto and also the ten yearly replacement of the rudder and tail wheel cables
- a bit disappointing!
Anyone done these jobs and can warn me of any
potential problems? Also could do with a foolproof method of attaching a
drawstring to the rudder cables before pulling them out.
Cheers,
Neville.
