It is simpler, and with less moving parts, to dispense with the turnbuckles
and simply release the cables from the aft bellcrank by pulling the shackle
pins. This will allow inspection of the whole cable in relative comfort.
This assumes that one has the bellcrank assembly on the rear bulkhead, of
course.
