How do you remove the spool shaft on a Pro Thermal tip-up?  thinking I should re-grease mine but not sure how they come apart and don't feel like spending $15 to learn how NOT to do it.

I have them and I'm not sure if they can be removed?? Guess I haven't needed to tune them up yet.

I figured it out, hold the black wing part on the top and pull up slightly while spinning the spool, it and a washer will pop off and the spool shaft drops right out the bottom.  Took a syringe (minus the needle) and used it to shoot some new frabill sub zero grease in the tube.  Surprisingly, there wasn't much need to do these even after 4 years of use.  There was still plenty of grease in them from the factory.
