I replaced the mast (with a new OEM part) on one of mine. Can't say about "proper" procedure; I did it the hard way: Removed and disassembled the entire spool assembly and wound the nylon leader by hand with the mast fully retracted. This was necessary because the old leader had broken-off within the housing and had to be retrieved. A minor PITA, but if I can do it, anybody can. No troubles since.
Think twice about trying to reuse that old mast, or any sort of "upgrade."
