I used electrical tape and channel locks..fished for a good part of the spring with 50w Mobile 1 in mine.
I did not like how stiff it was.A friend showed me how to do it.. I broke it down and cleaned it up..
I Packed the top part with the surfcaster grease an half filled the bottom with the mobile 1..It works great now.. 
U can see where the problem lies..You have to line the little knob on the main gear into the slot of the traverse gear as You put em together.If u mis-align this and overtighten it will not back up and the only way to get em aprt is to hacksaw thru the body and the shaft of the main gear..  |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Mike - it is pretty easy now that I figured out the trick (don't hold the spool when you try to loosen the side plate - hold the reel foot). Just fill 'er up with some oil |

If you get heat build up with no oil in their you might as well throw the reel in the garbage.One it seizes kiss it goodbye. |

Supposedly just a few weeks but for some reason everything takes longer in the fishing industry, I can't figure out why though... |
