Be careful cleaning reels. They aren't all built like the one he's doing. The basic's yes, but once that side cap comes off, it can really be vastly different. Shimino has a small port to add oil. Wash them off, loose a part, put one in wrong and the reel will preform badly, if at all.

@clayking1 good info i forgot to include that that also goes for baitcasters like my penn 309 is completely different gearing than my abu 10,000

I had my whole reel dipped into the sea while fishing a big one .. after a week or so, i feel some roughness, and so i found your vid ..

while stripping my reel i felt salt particles on the gears ... how do i get rid of it as the gears are still oily/greasy?

[coscott228]

@fishingadventures the best way to do that is very carefully get a clean brush with no oil or grease on it and wipe off the gears...

@Eric2827 What a stupid comment....

@coscott228 Always remember you grease gears after clenaed and oil bearing, you can clean bearings also but near as critical as the gears.

Ya, be careful taking these reels apart. Some parts are spring loaded and parts can go popping off and might be difficult to put back.

Good video. I know reels vary in the way they are built, but the general build of most spinning reels is the same. I think this will be a useful tool for people to be able to service their own reels. Thanks again.

Thanks for the information; I had never done this before and your video was a big help!
