Quoted from jgadzia:i have a question about the metal ball guides that are hammered into the board. Can i clear around them or am i going to have to pop those out. And if i pop them out from the underside, will they just hammer back in when i am done with the clear coating. I am worried if one gets bent will i have problems replacing it?
take them out, gently pry out from above the topside. Clear, then carefully redrill the holes with a sharp bit to remove any clear that got in the holes. replace the guides on the field.
