Howdy folks - I just picked up a beautiful example of one of these, and I want to do a strip down/clean/lube; my question concerns the Comp Clutch/Brake Blocks found on the handle side of the line spool. I'm trying to get at one of the spool bearings behind this assembly, and the Clutch/Brakes (one piece) seem to be pressed onto the spool tightly - I couldn't budge it with light fingernail pressure and I don't want to break it by being bone-headed, so tell me - does it just pry loose? It looks like it's never been removed...
Thanks for any help!
