Fixing reels

[bam424]

Does anyone know of someone who fix egg beaters. I have two reels that will not catch on the reverse reel. Are they worth fixing and or can they be fixed :-/

[baitwaster]

They are dead easy to pull apart and fix mate - not too many working parts. Usually the clicker that locks in the anti-backwind will need a clean and lube, and the screw that holds it in may be too tight.

Find a nice clean working area, and lay the parts in a line as they come off the reel, then put them back on in the same order.

A bit of reel grease and a clean, and they will feel like brand new again.

pretty simple thing really, best off is to get a nice clean well lit work area (Kitchen table) a few small hand tools, some solvent or Kero and a small container for washing bits and pieces (the best Tupperware is NOT recomended) and a small amount of grease, then start to disassemble the reel a bit at a time, you can even take a couple of digital photos if you are not real good at this sort of thing, and as mentioned, lay everything in order it came off, only bit to be careful with is the Bail Arm spring assy, usually you do not need to pull it to bits anyway unless it is broken. Just clean and have a look to see how the anti reverse works, it will more than likely be stuck open/free, especially if is a Shimano Aero and similar models, I have three and they all get stuck from time to time

It should be easy to download documents on the Internet on how to service and your local fisho shop should be able to point you in the right direction. I find shellite is the choice for getting rid of the old oil and grease as it disolves in net to no time leaving no moisture behind.
