Do you have to get inside? IF the residual 10' of line still protrudes, why not tie your new line on to the stub and crank it on to the spool? I have done partial re-lining on spinning reels like this; I donn't see why it wouldn't work on any reel type as well.

Observe proper line twist and use a suitable knot, of course.
