## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED RUDDER PEDALS WOULD NOT ADJUST DURING PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION.  MX DISCOVERED RUDDER CABLE HAD WORN THROUGH CABLE GUIDE TUBE AND SEIZED IN PLACE.   INSTALLED NEW RUDDER PEDAL ADJUSTMENT ASSY.  RUDDER CABLE DID NOT SHOW ANY ADVERSE WEAR PATTERNS WHEN THE NEW RUDDER PEDAL ADJUST ASSY REPLACED.
