You have to take the whole flyscreen out lay it on a flat surface. Then take the frame apart it will be held together with either self tappers or pop rivets. Then you can replace the cord, I used kelvar kite line you can get it on eBay in various thickness. Make sure you get all the cords the same length. When you get it apart it's fairly obvious how it works and how to do it.
As you have already found out getting the frame out is the hard bit.
