Just clean up with warm soapy water. Last edited by lastround; 04/30/12. If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice. Doug

The knurling on the end of the Lucas makes it easier to remove but I find I don't use the rod guide that comes with the Lucas so I've probably bought my last one of those.
