Apologies. This is the method I used to tighten the Arbor side of the hand line after the line stretched in after they had been replaced. During the initial replacement the arbor was immobilized in a similar fashion... just not to the operating line.

Good information here. Your rope manufacturer should provide info on how to secure loads as per its spec. I just completed a job changing out operating lines using the splice method to feed new line through. Make your terminations as smoothly as possible and don't be afraid to make a slip...
