We removed the port side cap shroud first by cutting the wire right above the turnbuckle stud terminal. Then went up the mast and removed the cotter and clevis pin from the eye terminal. The wire was then pulled upwards through both spreader ends and then removed from the boat. We then installed a Sta-Loc Eye terminal on the 5/16-inch spool of wire and measured it for length to cut the new wire. The wire was cut at 44 feet 3 inches, shorter than the 46 feet estimated and purchased. The original wire eye-to-eye length was about 45 feet 2.5 inches. The wire with the Sta-Loc Eye terminal was then attached up the mast with new clevis and cotter pins. The non-terminated end of the wire was then routed thru both spreader ends downward and a Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle. It was then installed with new 1/2 inch clevis pins. This process was repeated for the starboard side intermediate shroud. Both port and starboard side cap shroud wires were about the same length.
