Cabane & flying wire bolts

[Sirota]

Hi All, Many of the cabane & flying wire bolts on my CB-1 are either several threads too long or too short. A few barely make it past the end of the nut! I'd like to change them but don't want to mess with anything that might change the rigging. Do you think I could slide (drive?) out the old bolt using the new bolt and not have to first take the tension out of the struts and wires?

Thanks for your collective expertise,
Dave
