I have simply used 10” of duct tape applied carefully like rolling a j…uh…cigarette for decades. A little WD-40 to get the tape residue off. Done neatly, you simply are not strong enough to pull it apart and it rolls over the sheaves with no problems. I have new ones on board ready to nstall as soon as I get a chance.

In a belt, suspenders, and lifeline approach to avoiding disconnecting old
and new halyards somewhere inside the mast, in addition to tape and sewing,
I burn/melt both ends and bond them together.  You may lose a couple of
inches off the new one after but it's worth it.
