How about some more good advice.. I want to remove the roller reef ass. 
without droping the mast.  The sail has a tear half way up.  Is it possible to 
remove the nylon bearing (which apears to have a seam)  at the bottom of the spool 
by prying  it out and sliping it of the wire there by alowing the  ass. to 
slide past the clevis and on its merry way to the work shop?
