One more thing...
If you want to completely degrease the components in the reel without resorting to harsh volatile organic solvents, get yourself a cheap tub of GOJO hand cleaner (very cheap, also available at Wal-Mart).
Just coat parts with GOJO, let sit for a minute, and then rinse off in a tub of warm water (an old toothbrush helps to get the gunk off). Yes, the stuff is wonderfully water soluble. Repeat as necessary.
Dry parts on a paper towel, or blow dry, or if you really want to be anal, dunk parts in a little rubbing alcohol to further evaporate the water.
Then lube your parts as necessary.
