Hi Gerald, Sometimes there is a small dowel that holds the cord in place. If so drill it out, and just insert the replacement cord and wedge in with a round tooth pick and glue. The proper cord is available from Schaff, #932 @ .89c a yard. I have used fishing line and dial cord, which worked fine. Be sure the loop is the same size as a good one. Regards, John M.
