dondkim buddy,
The ramp on the internal trip,(part of the bearing retainer) raises the bail release which allows the bail to flip over- you can't do without the retainer and if you take out the release I believe you'd have to take out the bail springs or it won't stay open. Then, if the line is'nt directly under the roller,the bail could open on a strike- I think you'd be better off with the conversion kit.

Successful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I successfully changed two Daiwa reels to non auto bail reels by just turning the bail trip over and kept the spring in original place.
