Vic, go to the auto parts store or Scott's house and grab a can of "Brakleen". Disassemble the reel until you get to the AR bearing. spray it good and long with the brakleen. let it dry for a while while you have a beer. then reassemble. Should be fine.
...I'm not a big fan of instant anti reverse, because it fails. The reels I use now have instant anti reverse and a regular, old fashioned, Abu style backup anti reverse, because the manufacturers know that the IAR on conventionals is a weak spot.
