Alan, I'm into the rebuild on my SX, & boy am I glad I did this.
You were right, it's a fairly simple reel w/ straightforeward procedure. had some corrosion on & behind the drag washer on the spool.
washer cleaned up ok w a toothbrush/WD-40. still useable?
corrosion pitted the spool a little around the snap ring, but it cleaned up well so I'm assuming it'll work. did your bellville washer change. As for theheavy crank effort,what if I leave out one of the little thrust washers(#16)from either end of the spool spring. No mike's here @ the house but it appears to be .010-.015
as the bellvilles compress the spool against the drag from the other side via the lever, will this releive some of the over-pressure against the rt side brg,
or will it negate the bellville switch, or worse, make the spool travel less and happen later on the lever?
I don't understand all the damage, the reel "only" has about 200 hrs on the water in the past 3 years........
BTW, you were right on about the clicker, support was cracked in half.
ordered 2 of those and a full set of brgs, $22.00 shipped
no biggie, but I'll do the teardown a lot sooner next time
thanks
