[QUOTE="warefishin, post: 355524, member: 13325"] At this point if you arent replacing the outer sleeve you should be able to slide it off and lay it aside. If you are like me and have to replace the shaft too then you have to drill out the rivets that attach the bottom of the head to the outer shaft. This was the hardest part for me because the rivets are stainless steel and much harder to drill out than regular aluminum.the drill bit kept wandering and was going to damage the plastic so I drilled the tops off the rivets and then used some needle nose vicegrips to pull them out from the back inside the tube.
