My preference would be to climb up the tower with the temporary guy.  Attach
it to the top.  Drop the guy to the ground.  Either climb back down or have
a helper attach the guy and tighten it so that it is basically the same
tension as the original guy.  Then loosen the original guy and untangle.
Then replace and have the original tightened up - going back down or with a
helper.  Then lastly loosen and remove the temporary guy.

 

Alternatively, solo, you could pre attach the temporary guy and climb up
with the temp guy and a rope leader and a come a long.  Attach and tighten
the temp guy from the top.  And reverse it from the top.
