[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 453612, member: 432"] Spring type retaining rings can be a bear to remove. I have seen situations where you really have to pull hard to remove the part. So hard that I think it would break the item and then all of a sudden it pulls off like it should. I have also seen them break an item too. Over time the plastic may get brittle and not hold up to the force needed to remove it, especially in instances of where the item was exposed to the elements as a reel would be. You may try a little lubricating oil in it if you can get it in there. [/QUOTE]
