OT - undoing phone drop hardware

OK...I know this is OT but it is tool/hardware related. Anyone know the trick to undoing the phone company's attachment hardware for overhead drops? It is a 3-piece sliding cinch but I've always been fuzzy and how to get them loose (easy to install). The gardeners next door decided to chain saw a tree branch onto the drop and it pulled the drip loop out of the drop (with the new associated sag). So I'm trying to pull the drop taught again and get my drip loop back...but the slider hardware won't budge. Any ex-phone installers? I used to do cable, but we never used those stupid cinch attachments...
