Definately a worthwhile winter project and like John said the money saved can be put to new toys. I like to do it on my kitchen table and before I even begin, I spread out a bunch of paper towels to avoid any loose parts bouncing or rolling off the table. If youv'e never done it before, then go slow and lay out each part in a line above your work area and in the order it was removed.
If the reel is complicated or you question your ability to get it back together, draw a hand sketch of the internal layout before you start to pull it apart. If you have a digital camera a few pictures on macro will be even better.
Refer to the owners manual, because some parts require grease and some oil and you don't want oil going where there should be grease. One more caution, go sparingly on both, you can actually cause yourself problems by applying too much oil and especially grease. Also make sure you use a lint free cloth, because a bunch of lint getting into the reel will also cause problems down the road.
Good luck and tight lines.
