[TowerTalk] reuse of guy grips?

[wf3h at ptdprolog.net]

No, guy grips can not be re-used.  They have a resin on them which sets after 
the grips have been installed.  In addition, the metal itself sets itself 
around the guy wire, and will not form a good grip if it's released and 
replaced on a guy wire.  This is a safety issue, so do NOT re-use guy grips.

> Can anyone tell me if guy grips can be reused?  I purchased a tower with 
guys terminated with guy grips, but the guys will be too long in the new 
installation.  Can I remove the guy grips, cut the cable and reterminate with 
the same grips?  If so, what's the best way to remove the grips?
