Default Replace air lines in Discus tail fin?

I'd like to put a TE probe in an unused tail fin pitot socket, but the 30 year old hose leaks. There doesn't appear to be access from the top, with the horizontal stabilizer removed. Does anybody know if the lines can be accessed with the rudder removed?

Plan B is to mount it in the turtle deck, which is easy peasy, but has the slight downside of adding another hole to the ship.


Before you get too crazy in the fin check the part of the tubing that you can get to between the front and the area just behind the wing. More than one tube going through the belly has been found damaged.
