special tools for the accurate boss reels

[alantani]

Hi, Alan.  I would like to start servicing my reels by myself.  My problem is we here in the Philipines lack quality tools so i badly need your help to get started with the tools set up.  I might need to buy them there in the US.  Most of my reels are 3pcs Shimano Ocea Jiggers and 2pcs Accurate 665.  What are the must have tools for a newbie like me?? Thanks, S

the accurate is SAE, so you will need a 3/8ths inch combo wrench. the most important thing is a number 7 torx bit.  you will have to grind it down so that you have a long shank.  in photo below, you see a number 8 torx on the right that has not been ground down.  on the left, you see a number 7 torx that has been.  the screw holes on accurates are deep.  that's why you have to grind these down.  oh, some of the older models have a a hex head.  if that's the case, just grind down the bit in the same manner.  alan
