Hobie Sport Rudder Repair

I snapped the DOWN control line on my 2014 Hobie Sport yesterday.  I've looked at a good video for repair on an Outback and read the .pdf for the "Twist and Stow Rudder Repair manual."

When I tried to run some braided line I have back through the system I could not get it threaded and I believe that's due to the o-rings on the "tubes" that are just inside the stern that thread the cables. 

It's apparently not as simple as just rethreading some good braided line back through.

I found a part - Hobie 80025001 that seems to be a universal part though it may just be for the Mirage Island kayak.

Could I pull and re-use the old tube and rethread with a good substitute?

Does anyone have some experience with this and some recommendations?

To date I've been unable to get a repair cost estimate from the location l Hobie dealer. ($80/hr plus parts but no idea on the labor time yet.)

Thanks in advance!

Here is the video I watched.  It's quite good, but it's for an Outback.



And here's the .pdf for the repair from Hobie.

Happy to say that I managed to repair it after much creative language, futzing with tying/untying/retying knots and with the help of a local kayak angler who had extra spectra line and gave me 7 feet.  THANKS ALEX!   It was not fun but it seems to work now.
