Pulling them all apart and putting them back together all cleaned , lubed and buffed is one way I get my rocks offs during the off season. I highly recommend it to those with fishing withdrawal syndrome.
Its important to look everyrhing over before pulling stuff apart. George Hevey at Murats once told me that its a common thing for people to pull everthing apart and then not be able to reassemble the reel. He says they regularly bring in a box of parts for him to reassemble.
A real good idea is to put a cooky sheet under the reel to catch any parts you may drop during breakdown and reassembly. Even on a reel you could take a aprt and rebuild in the dark , a dropped and lost part is a disaster.
All the penns I've done are pretty easy. Can't comment on the Shakespear since I've never had one.
Be brave , go for it!
