daiwa certate spin reel tight after service-new to reel maintenance need help!!

[fine_tuna]

hi all,I'm looking for some advice
Im new to reel servicing and have just completed my 1st attempt on my certate 2500r which was noisy.
its much quieter now,i opened up the bearings and cleaned them out with thinners and packed them with cals reel and star drag grease and cleaned the gears and shafts .my problem now though is that the reel feels slightly heavy to wind or tight.another way to explain it would be when i  spin the handle and let it go it stops almost straight away unlike when you buy the reels new.
should i have packed bearings with grease or just oil?

i also did a daiwa legalise 1000 and same problem!
thanks in advance -chris

it could be as simple as a shim washer out of place.  double check the schematics, identify ever part and make sure all the parts are in order.  also, packing the main gear/drive shaft bearings with grease will slow down the handle quite a bit. 

in a spinner, packing the bearings WILL slow down the reel.  the trade off is that these bearings will not fail.
