Subject: 301E recurring problem


I have a Shimano Curado 301E that has on 3 occasions since new, developed a bit of a "screaming" sound when reeling. Just happened again when reeling in a top raider.
A good cleaning each time and it goes away for a while. Inside looks perfect.
Any idea?
Appreciate your time.
Thanks

Take all the bearings out of the reel and clean them with brake clean then soak in acetone, spin them and if they spin free then lube with a reel oil 1-2 drops each bearing. There is a pinion bearing make sure it is clean and reoil also. then take a Q tip and wipe out the spool brake ring, when clean apply a light coat of oil on the brass ring. Also ck the A/R Bearing to make sure it is clean and oiled.
Or send it back to Shimano and they will fix it or replace it.
