Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
Tie the new line to the spool on the reel. At this point, put the pencil or reel filling station into the new spool if you have either one. Another good alternative is to have a friend hold the spool adding a little tension while installing the new line.
