Kevin,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. My trouble, as an aircraft owner, is that if you ask a question of three aircraft mechanics, you end up with five opinions. I took you comments back to the folks I had talked to before. Some opinions were "that sounds right", others were that once the cable has been bent 90 degrees and stressed, the strands on the inside of the cable will be work hardened, and will break just from the act of removing the cable. These folks felt that removing and reinstalling the cable, especially repetitively each year, would do more damage than good, and they stuck with their opinion that if you remove it, you should replace the cable.
BTW, for anyone that isn't aware, the cables are relatively inexpensive, a couple of hundred dollars, but rerigging the flaps on both sides is many hours (perhaps as much as 20) of labor on a Robertson equipped P337 like mine. I don't know what the labor might be on a standard 337.
The exact science of aircraft maintenance...
