This certainly cut into my fishing time, so I gave it up. Here's a little tip: mikesreelrepair.com has thr schematics of a lot of reels. Just drill down to the reel you're working on and zoom in the view to see exactly how all the parts fit back together correctly. Mike's is also a great place to order parts. Good Luck!!


Thanks for the tip! It's easy to find Shimano schematics (I own several anyway) and such, but I've been looking for a site like you provided. Thanks again!
