Posts: 1137 Location: Holly, MI | Immediatly take it apart into 765 pieces and clean them all then try to re-assemble. It is fun, kinda like a jig saw puzzle  I have always monkied around with my reels dissassembling, cleaning, and lubeing. Inspect for wear especially the pawl. The pawl takes the most wear and is cheap to replace. I decided to go risky and use some "fast" oil this year. I used the Singer sewing machine oil. It is between the fastest and the next one down of the rocket fuel. So far in the yard testing it seems to be mighty smooth and casts like a dream. We'll see if it earns me a monster "professional Over-run" this year on the lake. One thing, the thinner oil you use the more often you have to reapply it. I clean with lighter fluid but rubbing alcohol works good too for cutting grease and oil. I spin dry the bearings on a tiny paint brush handle then let them dry on paper towel. For cleaning, tiny paint brushes work good and I also use Q-tips. I soak the bearings in a small dish with the solvent covering them and stir them a bit. It isn't too much of a job and you don't need to pay for cleanings. The only harm usually is a sore neck from bending over the table staring at the small parts. | ||
