Gang, I have never done swaging or watched the process, so I have to ask an ignorant question (actually, a question means one is ignorant about something, I suppose). I need to put a new fitting at the end a stay, but cutting the old fitting off and re-swaging will make the wire too short. Is it possible to remove a swaged fitting without wrecking the wire, or perhaps not put the wire all the way into the new fitting so it won't use so much? The fitting will take 1 3/4" of wire, but I would like to use only 1". Thanks, Tom Jenkins
