I find dropping the toping lift down enough to reach the connection and unscrew the line , secure the old with the new by taping them together. Raise the sail about 6 to 8 feet , enough to unflake most of it and pull the old and new line thru, down to the boom. I use 400# mono from any fishing tackle store.
