romoving reel seats

[basserjohn]

Hello
Im a new user and have been reading your for a few weeks now. For a person who cant get out and fish much its a great way to live, learn and fish through others. Now I was hoping someone out there can help me or lend some advice. On my off time I buy used surf casting rods and strip the guides and practice my wrapping skills, but I have never removed and old reel seat and cork handle. Before I attempt this: Is this possible? Is there a technique or trick? Should I just forget it?

Thanks for the help
