Abstract
The method according to the invention comprises providing a flexible line () and a bend limiter axially immobilized around the flexible line () by a releasable immobilizing mechanism (). It includes partially inserting the flexible line () through a hollow rigid member (), immobilizing the bend limiter on the hollow rigid member (), and deactivating the releasable immobilizing mechanism (). The releasable immobilizing mechanism () is deactivated independently of the movement of the flexible line () relative to the bend limiter.
