How do I replace the grip that acts as the front of the reel seat (by screwing onto the seat after the reel is in place)? The plastic cracked due to too much tightening. I imagine that it could be done by removing the line guide(s) above it, sliding it off and replacing it. But replacing the line guides seems to be a tedious task.

your right,removing the guides would be tedious and expensive.you have a choice.go to the tackle shop .ask him for the tape they use to make grips on custom rods.its merely atape that wraps around the blank,we all use it to make our grips on our custom rods.you have a choice,crack off the old grip,replace it with the new grip tape creating a new grip,or wrap it around the old one.should do the trick no problem.if the tread part is cracked tightly use electric tape on that end,i do,will hold reel

Unless the rod was expensive it is a throw away and buy another. Twenty bucks at Wally World.
