I did this last season; supply was an issue, and I ended up at West Marine, buying their pre-fab. Got some advice on the forum, so there should be a thread which could be resurrected in case you want to go with a higher performance option.
Attached a light line to the butt of the Old and pulled through; switched the light line to the New, and reversed the process. Trickiest part was that the new Main line is heavier than the Jib, and remembering to keep those straight. Much easier to do it before the mast has been stepped.
I do need to go back to the local store and take a bit more off of the cable. They weren’t willing to provide any services, but parts and the 1 all-important tool were available for crimping the cables.
