A little, I say little, twisting helped also. So, now:
A. To replace guides - single or double foot?
B. Take off a guide and then replace, one at at time?
C. Can I redo the rod blank? That is, change the color, spiff it up a bit?
D. Tip top, leave it or try to remove it and out another on?
Thanks all, I promise to post pictures as I go along.
