Greasing a reel

[Cobra190]

I agree with Clyde, get the schematics if you haven't broke this reel down before. the little spring and what nots have to go back exactley how they came out or it just don't work.

You might also consider numbering the parts or make comments as you lay them on a paper towel so you can remember what to do when putting them back together. Also, oil what needs to be oiled and grease was needs to be greased (there is a difference). Also, never put more than a fine coating of oil or grease on anything as there is too much of a good thing and it will effect the performance. I would also recommend cleaning the bearings of any impurities such as old dried up grease/oil/dirt.
