What NOT to do when repairing your reel!

Here's a good example of why repairing your reel is never as simple as it seems if you've never done it before. Little things get lost QUICKLY! Heck, even I lose things from time to time. Thankfully, only one of those times was the "lost" item permanently lost. See below for helpful chapter, equipment and supply links.

I, generally, use a ratcheting, interchangeable regular-sized screwdriver for the initial loosening of screws:

Get some additional, varying sizes Flathead and Phillips bits while you're at it.

The adjustable wrenches I use (instead of hex nut wrenches) are Husky, but these (with the red insert) work very well... 6-inch will be used the most:
