Hi John, there is no purpose in replacing the wires. I do think there might be a purpose in replacing the guide rail bushings unless they have been and they are just too tight. If they were no replaced they may be gummied up with inappropriate lubrications. The wires should be polished and perfectly clean and the bushing should be perfectly clean as well. Do them all, whatever you do, for the sake of consistency. Newton
