Removing old handles and real seats

Recommended Posts

For future reference, A large turkey fryer pot with enough water to cover the reel seat works good.  Get the water boiling, place the rod in the boiling water, making sure not to allow the butt of the rod blank to make contact with the bottom of the pot , and hold it there for a minute.  Use a pair of channel locks, grab the reel seat and try to twist the reel seat off.  If that doesn't work, repeat several times until it does.  This should soften the epoxy enough to break the bond. 

If this does not work, then it is off to the dremel tool with cutoff wheel and carefully cut and pry it off.
