Salvaging a reel seat

A rod I had just built got broken. It has a fuji graphite seat on it. Once I remove the cork, is there any way to remove the seat and reuse it, or is it even worth the few $ it costs. I am not worried about damaging the blank, just salvaging the seat. Anything I can do with the cork grip? or just cut off and throw away?

Hi Elrod,
Sorry to see this happen.The cork is shot so jut cut the rod at both ends of the seat and drill/bore the seat out.You didn't indicate whether it is a standard tubular or blank exposed type so I will assume it isn't the latter.
In all honesty though,spend the money for a new one.Best in the long run,IMHO.

Might could cut the blank as close as possible to the seat and then bore it out with a forstner(sp?) bit close, if not, to the same i.d. of the seat.
