Shimano Stella 8000FA

[ichibahn]

I know most of you guys own the Shimano Stella.

I'm not that good as Master Reel Alantani, but I try my best.

Time for taking apart, cleaning, and assembled is about 2 hour
Taking a pictures and editing is killing me, almost 2 days

To Master Alantani: Please, correct me if I make some mistake.

I know is to much pictures (87 pictures)
Hey, almost 130 parts for one reel

Here's the break down of Stella 8000FA:

OMG - I would gladly pay large sums of money to have someone service my Stella!

[Minnow]

OMG you are really have too much time in your hand, thanks for great work.

Thanks, Freddy! Very instructive. But for most of us, there should be a "Don't try this at home" warning!

Freddy, I was so impressed that I posted it on my forum.

[Bellyups]

Freddy, that is very helpful! Now I know how to approach the deeper washers at the base of the spool!

[jig]

Well, now I understand why they are expensive. And I don't want anything that complicated! Great post though, I learn alot from them even if I don't have the reel.

Thanks for the post. I own two Stellas and that helps a great deal in understanding how they work. I don't think I ever have the patient to do what you did though.
