If the control surfaces in the empennage are all controlled by a bell crank that is attached to the control cables, why do you have to re-rig when you take the rudder/elevator off? It would seem that the control cable length wouldn't change (unless there's stretch?) and the bell crank fits on the torque tube with a bolt. If the bolt holes are matched up with a bolt through them, I would think that the control surface would be back on the aircraft in the same position it was removed. What's wrong with my logic here?

As long as you kept the clevises oriented the way they came off, I'd agree. However if the clevises (and the cable) are allowed to relax (untwist) then the cable length will change. So I think.
