Fixing a rod ring

The ceramic liner has cracked on one of the rings. Whats the best way to remove the varnish that holds the ring to the rod? Thanks.

Very very fine wet and dry sand paper perhaps? But send Shane H on the site a message,he'll know for sure!!

just heat it up with a hair dryer then cut along the ring foot with a blade the ring will pull out then just peel the rest off

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

there are some great videos on you tube going through all the steps if your still not sure

Am just wondering lads is it possible to repair ceramic ring linings without removing the ring from the rod.
