Hi
My first post on the reel repair section.
I should be very grateful if anyone can answer a couple of questions for me - apologies if they are a bit basic. Many thanks in advance for your help.
The crucial one (my reel is currently sitting on the garden table in bits as night draws in!): does anyone know how I refit this metal spring? It sprang out when I was taking the reel apart and this happened before I had registered how it fitted. I have tried putting it back, but it just springs out again each time. My best guess is that the clip fits in behind the black pole, bend to the left hand side, and short length closest to the spindle.
Second question - I don't understand how the anti-reverse works. It has this kind on plastic cage and bearings.
And I don't understand how it interacts with the plastic plate that the switch moves.
