[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 336116, member: 330"] UPDATE: The rod tip was non-issue. Noticed some play in the guide as the superglue seemed deteriorated. Dipped in boiling water then cooled under a spigot. The guide damn near fell off. Rock 'n roll. The broken insert was more of an ordeal. I "remembered" it as a larger SOB but it revealed to be third from the tip with the wire diameter equivalent to 00 buck. The wire didn't properly frost until the can started spewing liquid. By this time I had the can wrapped in three layers of paper towel. By gentle tweaking with needle nose pliers (I'll spare description of "reaming action" coupled by expansion) the insert actually fit in the "housing" and freaking "clicked"! It looks stock! I can't comment on the Amazon quality and durability. I can report I replaced a guide insert with canned air and needle nose pliers. I can also report I then drank beers and posted some kind of dumb shit on here last Saturday.
