Broke my Spheros 8000 down for its midseason cleaning and lubing.
Now I've taught people how take apart every variety of military small arms when I was in and took many apart myself and the number one rule is the lay the parts out in the order in which they were taken off.This way there can be no mistakes in re-assembly.I've taken this same philosaphy and applied it to reels which has allowed me to service my own reels successfully for years.
After putting my reel back together the line roller won't roll.The line roller assembly IS put back together the way its supposed to be,no missing parts.I even double checked with schematics.Its fully clean, free of contaminants and very lightly lubed.And yet it won't roll unless the screw that holds it all together is so loose to the point you know it shouldn't be that loose.The bearing itself spins like a hot knife thru butter.Everything works the way its supposed to until fully assembled.
Sorry about making my question into a novel but this is REALLY bothering me!
