Thumb bar compresses but will not re-engage. It just makes a clicking sound and won't pop back up when I turn the handle. I have another one and opened it up, I see how the mechanism works but can't get it to work on the other reel. Do these where out, or am I missing something and is it a easy fix? Thanks

The AR Ratchet is not kicking the lever over. Two reasons - it's not low enough and it's slipping over the top or might be that the lobes are so worn on the ratchet it's not engaging the lever. Pretty easy fix. Pm me if interested
