I always put the gear in then screw the side plate on. Never had a problem. Don't need a block of wood though to remove the main gear. (My reels don't leak on the handle seal either)
i'm also good with this stuff and routinely break down all my vs's and can't see this happening .......happened to ya twice??
Aren't you the VS sharpie!
Eat me!
This whole site is full of jerks!
I'm really surprised a product developer has time to jump on my back.
Just as well! I never would use any of your products if you gave it to me.
Later Youall!
I should be catching Z's, instead spending my nights, catching fish and letting them all go!
Mac I don't think thats the problem. I think theres a bit of a double standard going on.
I've read other threads where members with seniority talk up a particular product and/or trash another and it doesn't even raise an eyebrow. Shimano over Daiwa,Shimano over VS, Convench over spinning etc. Other guys have reels or boats as an avitar and its seen as pride and or loyalty. When he does it he's a snake oil salesman.
David is a new member who's happens to be excited over a new product that also happens to be very pricey. Here lies the the issue.
Go back and read his posts from the very beginning. Some may be rough around the edges but most are genuine, helpful and discussion oriented.
Its a discussion board. He's not trying to sell anything. Just psyched on a reel that works for the way he fishes. Too bad because hes a great guy with a lot to offer and a hard core surf guy for sure.

no vs sharpie- just mechanicly inclined ...your post just seemed to me to be a reverse bash. one minute trashing vs' and the next telling folks how to deal what you term a common problem.. a lot of guys i know service their own and never dealt with this- me included. you sure to act like a person with an agenda. and that last post- reminds me of a little boy having a hissy fit.
