teleflex safe T replacement

[simonfraser]

there is significant play in the wheel vs the outdrive at the other end
the teleflex is connected to the OD via a hydraulic piston, powered by the teleflex

replacing the cable is going to be way too much hassle

so thinking of replacing the safe T hub behind the dash
the internal cable obviously has to come out of the safe T and there is no play in the very tough cable surround
i can undo the nut connecting the cable surround at the piston end

will that allow me to slide the internal part out of the safe T and then replace the safe T ?

is the internal part going to slip right out ?

will i have problems getting the cable back into either end ?

hm, or thinking about all of this may the hydraulic piston at the stern have a connection for an autopilot ?

The inner cable will likely be limited to 8” travel
Does the wheel turn when the autopilot is working?
