Have a customer that wants a handle rebuilt on a CTS blank. Have done many rebuilds with sliding rings, but not many with a fixed reel seat already on the handle.The reel seat is a cheaper fuji graphite seat. What will be the best way to remove this seat without hurting the integrity of the rod?? Slowly heating grip ,turning slitely as heated. Really do not want to dremmel if I do not have to. The rod is gorgeous but the cork handle was a very sloppy job.Want to make it look like it should. Any help from you more wxperienced builders is always appreciated Thanks all Jerry ...Renegade Rods Re: Tom K, rebuild

Spiral cut it with a hacksaw, being careful not to cut into the rod blank. Then insert a screwdriver and pop the seat open. It'll then slide off the underlying arbor/bushing.
