Penn 975
Howdy, Any of you 965/975 users ever have a problem with removing the bearing from the non-drive side? My 965 has been a solid reel other than basic maitenance like replaing the prawls (more often than they should be replaced, but they are cheap), and has seen more use since I put the bigger handle on it. My 975 has been ok but requires tons of maitenance compared to my 7000C. I have been using the 965 for 3 full season now and the 975 for two. Again, they are great and super smooth but need to be tuned up once a week in season. Especially the roller bearings.
Anyways, I am having trouble getting the non-drive side bearing out. THe edge seems to be rounded a little but still has the gold finish so I don't think it has been damaged at all. Any hints or tips? Thanks,
East Tide
