replace pull cord 7.5 thunderbolt ?

[MichBassMan]

The pull cord on my 83 7.5 hp is badly worn but not broken. I have never had it apart. Can someone give me an overview of changing the cord ? Can this be done without uncoiling spring tension? Your help is very appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can give.
