What is the proper way to install an AN 3087-8 Connector on a 5 wire cable? Can the connector be removed and reused? I've got to replace the power cable on my Tig welder.

Are you sure the number isn't AN3057-8?
The 3057 strain-relief fits a variety of connectors. The
most common being the MIL-C-5015 series devices that
have been around since WWII. They are offered in both
soldered and crimped contacts.
The strain relief is threaded onto the back shell
which is, in turn, threaded onto the connector
housing.

If your connector is soldered, then yes, it's easy
to de-solder the wires and re-use the connector. The
crimped pins cannot be salvaged. With the right tools,
you can extract the pins and use the original housing
to take new pins crimped to your replacement wire.
Check out the catalog from my website here . . .

Find out which contact arrangement is appropriate
to your connector. You may be able to find another
number stamped onto the connector retaining ring
that will help you define the size and insert. For
example, the connector above has an 18-1 insert as
described on page 12 of the catalog.
If your existing connector is crimped, the short path
to success is probably to replace it with it's solder-on
brother.
Newark Electronics is one of many sources for
these connectors . . . should you find that replacement
is preferable to salvage . . .

They're not a terribly expensive connector . . .
