Location: Iowa | I've had every reel I've ever owned apart, but I went to take apart one of my Toros tonight, to switch to higher speed gears, and I'm stumped. I took all the obvious screws and clip out, but it seems as though something is holding it yet. I don't want to force it, but can't find anything else. Who has had these apart, and can give me some advice? |

On the lower side of the frame there is one more holding in a plastic piece that allows you to lube the gears without taking it all apart. |

Location: Iowa | Thanks, but I got all of those. It might come off, but it feels like something else is holding, I just don't want to force it, because it feels like too much tension yet. Maybe I need to apply more force. |

| Did you remove the screw holding the "lube plate" on on the right sideplate? I've forgot to remove that one more than once. |

Location: Iowa | Got it guys. Ryan, you were right. It was the one behind the spool. I didn't realize the spool had to come out to get to it. Just like most things, pretty easy after you get through it the first time. Thanks again. |

If you compare the two schematics, the only items you really need to change are the gears.
#44 and 33 on the above schematics. |

You will have to look at the # on your reel foot first ABU has had 3 different reels so you have to match them up first and on the Schmatics listed above you will also need to change out the PINION HOLDER #31 or the new gears will not work. Also make sure the drag washers are the same, they are in the schmatics listed above. You can PM me your reel foot # and I'll tell you the right parts that are needed. |

Location: Iowa | Yup, all I switched were the gears, which I found in the classifieds here (thanks Pikemaster). Now I just need time to go try it out. |
