Location: Uxbridge Ontario | I service my reels a few times a season. Open, clean, grease and oil... regular maintenace.
I have had this reel open at least 5 times; but the reel has a tick and pulsation that it has never had before.
Upon opening the reel again after discovering the tick and pulse, it appears that the hammer looking component with the pointed head freely rotates and is able to work its way under and rub on the bail engage (dog eared) gear under the main gear. Pic included
Anyone have this issue before and or know how to fix it? I have played with is quite a bit and getting frusterated as I end with the same result each time.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Maybe its not properly installed. From the photo's here it would appear to be the problem. See figure 6-9-10.

However, I'm sure pikemaster or one of the reel maintenance expert can comment.
Good luck.

Location: MN | It is installed in the right position as you have it. It is called the anti reverse pawl. If it is not pushed down onto the anti reverse ratchet (what you call bail engager), then that is the problem. It is just loose and ticking all the ears of the AR ratchet. Slide it off the post, pinch the ears together so you have to force it on to the AR ratchet, and it will generally want to stay there. Its purpose is to keep the main gear from going in reverse if the AR bearing fails. In order for the ears to fit on the ratchet, it can't sit on the bottom of the post - it has to sit up a little. |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | I never mess with the AR Pawls call Shimano and get a new one, part #BNT 2404, order 2-3 of them and replace them after each season. Cost under $5.00
Make sure the arms are tight together when you install on A/R rachet. |

| What is the best way to detatch the main gear when it is stuc ?
Serviced my reel yesterday after reading the manual posted here above.
But my main gear does not come loose, nr 13 picture 6,
A bit of movement about a mil or 2 is all i could manage.
What is wise?

Duh! It's not properly installed if you look carefully at his photo and compare it to figure's 5, 10 & 13 in the link I posted - the anti reverse ratchet is under the main gear. The anti reverse pawl is not properly installed to engage the anti reverse ratchet.

Location: MN | Geez mellow out. I meant its sitting on the right post, facing the right way, etc. then I explained the detail of where it needs to go from there. Sure a lot more help than the pictures you posted |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | The photo's actually show the proper installation. Maybe, its the difference in our individual definition of proper? I hope the photo's helped him solve it.

Both of you are helping. I posted the pic with the the AR ratchet out the discribe it. I did not know the proper name for the item so I thought a pic was worth 1000 words. This is the piece that rotated freely, does not engage and is making contact with the AR gear.
I appreciate all the help, and I am going to dive into it shortly.
Thanks |

Turns out my AR Pawl was pinched shut and both forks where running under the AR gear. Looks like I will need a new pawl as it is a little tweaked. I straightened it and seems to run good. But better safe than sorry.
