Default Rudder cable guides

There are some plastic pieces that the rudder cable runs trough where it comes out of the side of the plane and they are all but worn into on my -6.
Can these pieces be pulled out and rotated so the cable doesn't rub the skin covering the fuselage?

It's probably simple tubing slit open so it can slide over the cable. Easy to replace.

It should be held in place with an Adel clamp. If you could reach inside and loosen it, you can turn the tubing.

Thank You for the info.
Looks like I need to go in there anyway, I'm wanting to change the tailwheel fork and will need to remove the spring to have it machined.
My tailwheel spring makes a 90* bend downward.
