I just opened my brothers newell and found the unthinkable.  Yep, frozen pinion to the spool.  On top of that the bearings are frozen too. >:( >:(

Awe bummer.  take it easy and slow and hopefully, it will come out.  Parts are hard to come by.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Don't waste to much time on that frozen pinion :-\
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Aluminum or graphite spool?

Aluminum, you can use a little heat applied to the pinion gear from a propane torch.  This will help expand the gear and possibly break some of the rust.  Do a few times and spray a lubricant to cool down and work between the gear and the spindle.

no, it HAS to come off without damage.  there are no more available.  two screwdrivers and 180 degrees from each other, turn then both clockwise and slowly, evenly, lift.  it will work.  it has to.
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

constantly soaking the bearings and pinion since Tuesday. Yesterday grasp the bearings and pinion with Vise grip and started wiggling and spinning the hell out of it.  Nothing got damage in that process. What a relief.
