Method of using detachable lines for positioning pipeline repair liner

A method for repairing a damaged portion of a sewer pipe extending between a first manhole and a second manhole, said method comprising:

• stringing a first line and a second line from said first manhole to said second manhole, said first line having first securing means;
• on one end thereof and said second line having a second securing means on one end thereof, said first and second securing means being adjacent said first manhole;
• stringing said first line through at least one aperture adjacent one end of a carrying tube, said carrying tube having a fabric liner and a bladder tube therein;
• detachably securing said first and second securing means together in such a manner that pulling on only said first line will move said carrying tube and pulling on both of said first and second lines will separate said first and second securing means attaching a third line to the other end of said carrying tube;
• pulling said one end of said first line through said sewer pipe from said first manhole toward said second manhole whereby said carrier tube is moved within said sewer pipe;
• stopping the pulling of said first line when said carrier tube is positioned adjacent said damaged portion of said sewer pipe;
• pulling on both said first and second lines to cause detachment of said first and second securing means from one another and from said carrier tube;
• inverting said bladder tube and said fabric lines from said carrier tube whereby said fabric liner engages said damaged portion of said sewer pipe.
