The hose reel handle is broken off. I am ordering a new reel which I found on eBay. My question is how to remove the old reel from the Fire Car 52 body. There appears to be a metal clip that covers either side of the hose reel. Any help on this is much appreciated. Regards, Jack Weston *****************************************************
