[kennethdaysale]

HEY gf3 THIS IS WHAT USUALLY WORKS FOR ME WHEN FACED WITH A DAUNTING TASK. fIRST TAKE ALL THAT STUFF IN FRONT OF YOU AND PUT IN AN OLD BASEBALL CAP, COVER IT WITH TINFOIL AND CAREFULLY PLACE IT THE FREEZER, AND STOP SHAVING. NOW FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO THE LETTER
#1 PLACE 3 NAVEL ORANGES, A PHONE BOOK, 2 BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES A RAW PORKCHOP, 2 PINTS OF SMIRNOFF, A PACK OF MARLBORO LIGHTS(BOX) AND A CHANGE OF CLOTHES IN A TRASH BAG AND SEAL IT UP WITH A ZIP TIE. PUT THE BAG UNDER THE SEAT OF YOUR TRUCK
#2 GO TO A TRACTOR DEALERSHIP AND GET AN OLD TRACTOR TIRE, BRING IT HOME AND PUT IT OUT IN THE BACK YARD.
#3 EVERY NIGHT FOR THE NEXT 30 NIGHTS AFTER EVERYONE IS ASLEEP SLIP OUT AND URINATE IN THE TIRE.
#4 (STICK WITH ME THIS IS THE CRITICAL PART) AT 11:45 ON THE 30TH NIGHT GET THE BAG OUT OF THE TRUCK, PUT ON THE OLD CLOTHES, THROW THE FRUIT AND CHOP AWAY, POUR THE SMIRNOFF OVER YOUR HEAD AND LET IT RUN DOWN THE BEARD YOU SHOULD HAVE GOING BY NOW, FLUSH THE CIGS DOWN THE TOILET AND SET THE PHONE BOOK BY THE PHONE.
#5 NOW GO OUT TO THE TIRE, POUR SOME GASOLINE ON IT AND SET IT ON FIRE....WAIT UNTIL YOU GET A REALLY NICE BIG BURN GOING AND THEN RUN BACK IN THE HOUSE AND GRAB YOUR PISTOL AND A FEW ROUNDS OF AMMO.

What type of reel is it, and how far do you have it taken apart?

[gonefishin3]

lol i stripped it all the way it was a quantom tour it had a lot of factory greese in it so i wiped all that our i put greese on the gears and oil everywhere i thought i might need it im just stuck on what to do with the breaking sustem how do you clean this becides wipeing it out?

[gonefishin3]

oh and where your worm gear comes out the "breaking" side of your reel there is a plastic piece then a metal piece and the little tiny metal piece wont stay on

[Tavery5]

which part of the braking system are you asking about?

[gonefishin3]

when you take off the side of your reel and its the cover with the whole breaking system what do you do to it? but most of my problem now is that little metal piece

[gonefishin3]

do you put greese or oil in your worm gear greese since its a gear right?

[Tavery5]

Ok, lets get your reel back together first, the little metal piece that you asked about is called a C clip, there should be a groove in the end of the worm shaft that it snaps into. Cleaning the palm side plate can be as simple as taking a clean cotton cloth and wiping it down, make sure you wipe the the brass area that the brake tabs ride on very well, once you have it clean, you may want to put the a tiny drop of oil on q-tip and put an extra light film of oil on it. Worm gears are a source of debate, some like to oil, other like to grease, the primary difference is that if you grease, you are more likely to pick up some dirt or other debris and the grease is heavy enough to hold it there, oil is light and does not pick up debris as bad, but you may sacrifice a little smoothness, and need to re-oil occasionally hope this helps

yes the c clip ! but it keeps poping off ? is there a trick?

[gonefishin3]

Well now the picture comes up...

[Tavery5]

You do not have something installed correct as the worm shaft should protrude through the plastic piece a little more and make it easy to install the c- clip in the groove on the shaft.

[gonefishin3]

so inside the slleve inside the line guide theres a little piece of plastic that rides the worm gear? it broke. is that little plastic piece in other reels?

[Tavery5]

sorry, not sure what you are talking about, may need another picture.

[gonefishin3]

see that little white piece that has part of its self on my worm gear ! im takeing apart an old reel to see if i can get mine back running for this weekend.

[gonefishin3]

sorry x that last message the plastic one is the one that broke the metal one is out of another reel and it fits... now im trying to get that whole assembley to line up and it dosent want to go ... :/

[Tavery5]

My friend you have a bit of a serious issue, the part that broke is called a pawl, they are very specific to type of reel, not sure it is a good idea to try and use one from another reel, this could cause even more damage, possibly ruining your worm gear. Best bet is to get some help from a reel mechanic at this point.

[gonefishin3]

gosh dangit im going to amistad this weekend :/

[Tavery5]

Unless you have a local reel repair shop that has some parts on hand, I would say you will need to make that trip without this reel.

[gonefishin3]

okeydoke thanks tavery no i dont have any sort of shop... If any one else on here could give me advise orr where to get this part? it seems to run actually really smoothly... how much is a new worm gear? and that c clamp wont stay on >.<

[Tavery5]

There are a couple of guys on here that do reel repair, one is Pro Reel, and the other is DVT, I am sure one of them would be willing to help.

[Jrob78]

If by some chance you'll be coming through Dallas and one of the guys on the board can't help you, there is a reel repair company called Southwestern Parts that could probably help you out.
