Any shop that sells Penn parts should have the kit.

Once you get used to using a manual, you'll never want another reel that has a bail. I just de-bailed one Nautil 7500, and the second one is waiting for its bail-ectomy. It's actually easier to plug with a manual once you get used to it---you feather the spool with your finger towards the end of the cast, the line is right there waiting for your fingertip when the plug lands, fingertip goes against the spool to stop the line, then picks up the line, one turn of the handle and that's that. No slack line billowing off in the wind while your fingers stand clear of the closing bail, no line wrapped around the bail pedesatl or laying across the drag knob, and maybe 1/100th of the wind knots over the course of your fishing career.
