Any ideas on the best way to access the rudder cable pulleys under the baggage floor for replacement (other than hiring an octopus)?

Welllllll.............. when I was younger and more agile I was able to do it. As I recall, I made/modified a wrench to assist. It helps if you take what little tension is on the rudder cables off when you R&R the pulleys.
Perhaps hire someone very small..........to do the work.

Yes, the two rudder cable pulleys are at the "edge of the universe" ;) at that location. The elevator and aileron are much more reasonable.
