Replacing Boom Dyneema Loops

Remove  end cap , attach a long length (at least 1.5 times  length from hole to boom end )of strong thread to dyneema loop , hold boom vertical and push old loop through hole into boom and it will drop to the  ground . Remove old loop and attach new loop . Pull new loop back up to the hole and pull through. It may be a tight fit and you may need pliers or another tool to help pull it through .  Check other loops while you are doing the job. Then replace end cap.

Hi, my aft Boom Dyneema loop for the mainsheet block needs to be replaced. Has anybody performed this before and/or knows any tips or tricks for replacing the loops? Do I need to remove the end fittings for access? Thanks in advance!
