Are the fairleads closed circles, or is there a way to take the cable out through the side? Looking at pictures, it seems as though once you put on the thimble and Nicopress sleeve, it's too big to fit back through the fairlead, so you can't remove it without destroying it. That seems like it can't be right.

Cable fairleads question

The fairleads are two pieces. They go through the small piece of tubing(which has a large enough ID to pass through the cable eye) that holds the two pieces together and are retained with a small circlip that comes with them.
I replaced the circlip on mine with appropriately sized snap rings to make them easier to R&R using snap ring pliers.
