Title: 30vsw help
Post by: Austinp on September 07, 2012, 03:13:12 PM
First of all this site is awesome.

I recently purchased a used 30vsw. I wanted to do a full breakdown and overhaul on the reel. I've gone over the 50vsx rebuild, which is the closet thing I can find and I believe I the vsw is very similar. Are there any VSW tutorials?

Also, the clicker on the reel does not sound right, it almost doesn't seem as loud as it should be. Can someone give me some places to start? Also are there any tutorials on taking the clicker assembly apart and repairing?

Austin:  go to the Penn 30 International tutorial.  http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=137.0  I am almost sure that when I took my 30 VSW apart the only difference was the two speed gears.  So using both the 30 and 50 tutorials, you should not have a problem.  Both reels are pretty straight forward.  If you run into a snag, we'll work you through it.  Dominick
