C-RAM Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Howdy folks - I just picked up a beautiful example of one of these, and I want to do a strip down/clean/lube; my question concerns the Comp Clutch/Brake Blocks found on the handle side of the line spool. I'm trying to get at one of the spool bearings behind this assembly, and the Clutch/Brakes (one piece) seem to be pressed onto the spool tightly - I couldn't budge it with light fingernail pressure and I don't want to break it by being bone-headed, so tell me - does it just pry loose? It looks like it's never been removed... Thanks for any help! - Marc in Colorado Quote
Super User Solution .RM. Posted April 29, 2014 Super User Solution Posted April 29, 2014 Mark, I use a small slot driver and lightly lift under the two black engagment tab pins on all of the rounds we have been upgrading/servicing. It will come off (slowly but surely), just make sure you replace it in the same place... Good Luck & Tight Lines! 1 Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Yup, they come off just hard enough to make you second guess yourself. R.M.'s suggestion is right on. 1 Quote
C-RAM Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Outstanding, gentlemen! Thank you both for your prompt and informative replies! Best regards, Marc Quote
