Yeah, you'll have to fish the wire out through the tone arm and out the body and replace it with new wire. Do a test first - Disconnect the wires at the cartridge and run new wires externally along the tone arm, taping them to the outside. Put an RCA plug on them at the end of the tone arm and connect your preamp cables there. It will be a makeshift jury rig that will allow you to test without going through too much trouble. If the new makeshift wires sound clean, then the problem is in the wires or connections on the existing wires run inside the arm. You'll want to fish them out and replace them. But if the problem persists even after you've run external wires, you'll know that the problem isn't with the internal wires or connections.
