Thanks Lumberjack!!!
This is an excellent resource and will definitely help people break down and service their reels without having to put all of the parts into a bag and shipping it off to someone to put it back together! LOL Please feel free to update with additional reels as they become available or as you wish! |

Tom: You may laugh, (and I am certain that most of the folks on this board are more mechanically competent than I am--it would be hard not to be,) but you can't even imagine how those diagrams send chills up my spine. It's like witnessing a bad car wreck or a plane crash. When I even unscrew a sideplate on a Penn SS, I keep waitng for springs to start flying out. A picture of someone removing a retaining clip causes me to have a panic attack.

Laughing with not at you!
The only laughing is me with you!
Though I'm not totally mechanically inept, whenever I take a reel down past getting to the bearings, I always have "extra" parts!  But, my buddy Hawk from another board, always saves me. He did tell me a great secret when breaking down a reel: Get the schematic, but on a separate piece of paper, write down (sort of map) your own diagram of parts as you break down the reel to keep them in order. Always place them on a table in the order you took them off too! Oh well, I was looking for a new challenge this winter! LOL |

Tom,
Many many years ago, a buddy of mine helped me re-build the 283 in a '57 Chevy. The next one, he told me I would have to do myself. I told him I was worried about that and he said: "Relax, Russ, just take any parts that are left over, and drop them down the carburetor." I ended up giving the car to the Boy Scouts. Russ

Every chance I get to replace drags with carbonfiber, I do. Unless its a quality reel, and already has them in it..lol. |

Transmissions are tough but an engine is easy. The tranny is a whole different monster. A fishing reel, simplicity at its best. lol I am always a little cautious when working on a reel I havent worked on before but for the most part, all reels are very similar. The only difference much of the time is the size of the parts.
Skeeter, do you work on trannys? I just rebuilt the motor on my jeep a few months ago and also rebuilt the motor on my old 67 mustang but was not about to mess with the tranny. |

SR,
Most automatic transmissions are easy. Try four and five speed transaxles. Tom, Why don't you put your reels in a plastic bag and ship to Hawk before you take them apart?
