Andy135 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Need a better picture to see what they are. Grub screws? Bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F’ing level wind still don’t work though. 😡 Check under the cap on the underside of the levelwind bar, there's a small "V" shaped stud that sometimes snaps, so doesn't engage with the grooves in the level wind spindle Saintly Fish and JonC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Think I’ll send it off for repair. @Maverick does Dave still belong to the PBSBAC massive? Is he still repairing reels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If that don’t fix it, check for crud on the worm drive. if you can’t fix it, send it over abs I’ll have a look 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have cleaned it and striped it but can see the problem. My eye sights not what it was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 There is a pawl in the level wind on the bar that runs through the thread, that’s probably worn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hijack alert! I was quite impressed with the salt build up inside my 6500s when I opened one up for the photo shoot. I haven’t cleaned them for maybe 10 years properly so that might be why. Still working perfectly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I had one where the sliding plate that locates the drive bar was that flexi, the gear kept mpving out of alignment...... They are extremely simple to fix mate, Blak Dog tackle does loads of spares for them.... If you're not casting with the reel you can leave those blocks out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The level wind parts are easy to service/replace. Remove the screw on the bottom of the line bar then remove the pawl (as said above) order a new pawl online then fully clean and reinstate the bar pawl and screw thingy. That should do it failing that find a decent plumber/bathroom fitter to do it for you GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
