Take the through hulls apart, and clean them up. I just did that with one of mine. Some people use a lubricant on them - mineral oil, teflon lubricant, but I don't.
On my boat, I'd be more confident using the original rigging, than making new rigging myself. Since it's easy enough for you to take the mast down, why not have a rigger inspect the rigging, and he can advise you whether to replace the rigging or not.
