rah168 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi guys, The bail roller on my spheros 14000FA has seized up and i need to open it up. I have tried to open it up, but unlike my other reels it seems to be held in place by a super strong clip or something. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Underneath the Line Roller screw cap on that reel there is a line roller screw. Have you removed the screw? Otherwise, it doesn't look like there should be anything stopping the line roller being disassembled. The other possibility since the bearing is seized is that it might have corroded onto the line roller shaft. If so, try soaking the roller assembly in CLR for a couple of hours. And just in case you don't have it, here's a link to the schematics.... http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/displayimage.php?album=8&pos=348 Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevekun Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 This has also happened to me, but the screw has corroded and even after soaking it in wd40 for over a day i still cant unscrew it.. any other way of removing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Try CLR... WD40 will lubricate while CLR will cut through the corrosion and rust (to an extent). Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
