  1. Ricksters advice is on the money.Tips are not "heat shrinked" on. Well not anything of any quality anyway!Heat is the best way to remove them, but beware......Too much heat will damage the blank, particularly if fibreglass!I use a small amount of petrol or other suitable flamamble substance in a suitable, small metal container. Place the tip over or in the flame sparingly, and with some pliers gently try to remove the tip from the blank. I have seen some use those small butane torches to good effect here and these are probably a better thing than my method, but I am a tight RS!Once the old tip is removed, you could either take this to the local store for an exact replacement or the rod. Perhaps both. Then an exact replacemnt can be found to suit the eye size & blank diameter.Most places will usually fit the new eye for just the cost of the runner as well so you dont need to bother with the rest of the job.I'd suggest getting two however as that way you will have a spare if you manage to break it again on an extended trip. Except for the higher end guides, they are generally inexpensive & can save the day on an otherwise useless outfit.
