I wanted to add one more thing.

PLEASE be realistic about repairing your reel. Van Staal will sell parts but they are definitely fearful of people taking apart reels only to find it was more complicated then they anticipated. This is why they have been VERY reluctant to sell parts in the past and still are.

They do not wish to promote taking apart your own reel, but it is an option available to owners.

Basically please don't break your reels.

I'll probably feel some heat for it if that happens.
