Thank you Bladebum for your advice. I want to pull the guides out to clean them and relube them with my own grease. I'm still wondering if the steel outer guide comes off or not, maybe it's connected to the rear guide somehow and it and the rear guide comes off as one piece. Thanks for your input.

I'm still wondering if the steel outer guide comes off or not, maybe it's connected to the rear guide somehow and it and the rear guide comes off as one piece. Thanks for your input.I understand, in that case the best way to get the spring out is put the guide in a vice that is closed enough that the flange cannot pull through but YOU ARE NOT CLAMPING THE GUIDE. I just want to emphasize that so you don't clamp down on the guide. With the flange of the guide trapped between the jaws horizontally, pull straight out on the spring with two hands. The outer steel guide will slide right off the black plastic inner guide at that point. Hopefully that makes sense, happy to answer any more questions.
