I loosen the sting by turning it counterclockwise then remove it.  I will only work with two strings at a time.  This will also allow me to clean some of the area under the strings without removing all of the strings at one time.

Installing the ball or loop end is the first step in replacing the strig.  Then, because the strings come at varying lengths depending on their location on the autoharp, they are at about the right length if you push about one inch through the eye of the tuning pin.  It helps to have the pin's hole aligned in the proper direction as well.

 After the string is inserted the proper distance, I kink it to the right.  I then make sure that the string is riding on the proper side of the pin that aligns it and take a turn on the string post with the tuning hammer.
