Use the 1/4" as a fish tape. Slide the 3/16 inside with some epoxy so it will not slip out when you pull it through.

I thought I was going to be smart and suggest using the 1/4" as a guide for the new 3/16", but I just tried it with two pieces of Nylaflow, and it gets pretty hard to slide after about 6" or so. Some lubrication might get you there though. But maybe the moral of the story is to use 3/8" for new construction (as a guide tube) and then 3/16" as the line itself, guaranteeing easy replacement later. Mine is 3/16" and it's not coming out without a fight either...
