Mike, your pretty handy. I'm sure you could rehab the reel yourself. Heck, back in the day when I was stupid and stubborn (at least more stupid than I am now), I used to fish convech and I managed to service an Abu several times with no ill effects. But now that I've smartened up at least a little, it's spinning only for me.
For the type of fishing you do and for as far as you can cast your spinner, I don't see why you want to put yourself through the torture. Search this site for a picture of a backlash Numbskull had a year or 2 ago. That should be enough to deter you.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
