Thumb bar won’t reengage

[Justbass11]

As I have posted before, I am cleaning my reels, not a deep clean just a basic clean. Everything was going smoothly until I got to the 5th reel, after putting it back together. The thumb bar won’t reengage. I have taking it apart again, but to no avail. Any ideas? I appreciate it.

Reel type? I would check out YouTube for a complete tear down. Recently a tiny misplaced spacer washer kicked my butt in a Lexa 300, and made life difficult 🙂

Good news, I fixed it. Not sure what I did but it’s working

@Bdnoble84 I did something with the drag maybe the washers weren’t on right I don’t know, but that’s what it was. I wish you the best and getting a real fixed.

Sometimes things just aren’t seated just right.
