I asked the question because nobody (AFAIK) has ever managed to get any instructions from UST for performing what UST calls an essential maintenance task.

     Well, you don't get a ticket everytime you  speed either.

True but you should not be speeding in the first place ...

  Having said this, I regularly inspect cables on my  towers  and replace them 
if required.

     By neglecting periodic lubrication, you're probably replacing cables that 
really wouldn't have needed replacement if they'd been lubed. I'm just saying.
Valid argument Steve, but in my world the cost if replacing the cables every 3 
years is much cheaper than me spending time lubricating cables on 4 crank up 
towers.

And how easy were the recabling instructions you got from UST to follow?
