Any thoughts?

Anyone know a midget I can fly into Mississippi?

Sometimes these fittings are only lightly glued to the inside of the
fuselage.
If this is so, you can put a rod into the fitting(socket) and break it
loose so it can be removed. Then install new tubing, and reinstall.
This is done by threading a pulling string through the hole form the
outside, capturing with sticky stick and pulling it forward. Attach to
fitting, apply glue to fitting(socket) , and pull back into place.
Plugging a 1/4 inch(approx) diameter dowel or tube into socket willl
give you a handle for positioning and something to hold it in place
while it cures.
This is harder to describe than to do.
The other option is to install a new socket for TE probe in the fin
where it will work better anyway. Contact me at usual address for more
help.
