The cables look great but the thimbles on all of my stays need replacing.
Any suggestions on removing nicopress and swag fittings?

I would think that if the fittings were shot the cables would be as well.
Another thing is that the swage fittings are put on with tremendous pressure
so the wire inside them is likely mangled beyond reuse. Get busy with a
hacksaw and let us know how it goes!
