To re-string a compound bow, you must first get the bow limbs to bend. The easiest way (and the safest) is to place the bow, with the string above the bow (it will look like a smile) in what is called a "bow press". Once the bow is in the press, it is pushed down to bend the limbs ("compressed"), causing the string to go slack; the string is now removed from the cams and the new string is installed. De-compress the bow and remove it from the press.
The bow press can be somewhat expensive to purchase, so it may be best to take the bow to an Archery shop and have the string replaced there. Due to the amount of pressure required to bend the bow's limbs, as well as the need to keep them bent while changing the string, attempting to restring a compound bow without the proper equipment is definitely not recommended.
when you purchase the new string in the correct length each end of the string has a loop you have to compress the bow first the start with a loop in the middle of the cam ie the wheels on either end of bow then you follow the path of the cam in a circle and do the same on the other side then release the bow and make sure the sting is in the grooves of your cam hope this helps As it is dangerous you should let a professional do it.
