Accurate 3/0 side plates issue

[Swami805]

I have a set accurate 3/0 side plates and and am having a problem getting it to work with a newell spool, the spool shaft on the handle side seems about 1/8" too long. I've tried the bearing cap out of another accurate and a cortez conversion side plate and the same problem. Works fine in the stock penn side plate. I've used newell spools with accurate side plates and never had a issue before. Got me scratching my head. I don't have another 3/0 to compare it too.
One other question, It looks like accurate punched small grooves in the inner rim of the cap that leaves a burr so the bearing won't come out. I''l post a few pics in a minute. Thanks Sheridan

before bearing pullers from Reel Speed, I would place the side plate on a vise with my l-shaped bearing puller with a loop and pull down very hard to get those bearings out.

Regarding the spool and 3/0 reel, is it a 112H?  Is it possible the plates are for a 112?  The 112H has a longer shaft than the 112.  I could send you an aluminum spool for the 112 if you would like to try that out.  It's not from Newell, but from Penn.  Let me know.

Thanks Brain, the spool is out of a 112H narrowed be Jerry Downy. Thought it would be nice with accurate plates. The plates must be for a standard 112. I found a set of 5-1 gears, would have been a sweet narrow 3/0. I'll put it back with the penn plates, still nice to fish with. Thanks Sheridan

Hi Sheridan,

Did you want to put together a 112? I have a spool for you if you think this will fit.

If so, I'll send it out, NC.

Thanks for the offer Bryan but I think I'll stash the plates for future reference. Just to many projects, I don't know that I'd ever get to it. Very generous of you Hope you enjoy the weekend!

PS have a few 440's stashed, looking forward to those plates!
