Location: Racine, Wi | Alright reel gurus, I’m trying to fix a reel for a buddy. The reel wasn’t turning when he tried to turn the handle. I took the reel apart and the main drive shaft seems to be the culprit. It should just slide off from what I’m seeing, but that puppy won’t budge. I’m guessing it’s bound up from dirt or....
Anywho, anyone have an idea how to get this off without breaking the gear and post that holds it? |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | freeze the whole thing in dry ice and then heat the gear. should come right off. do the same with the shaft. be hot on the torch so it heats quickly, but doesn't melt. you want about a 75 degree temp difference. it should pop right off. |
