bought a 506 and opened it up(im pretty new to working on reels) looks dry(spins fine though) would it be best to tear it down, sand and then oil?

Everything should clean up with some CLR or simple green. Some light sandpaper or emery cloth should do the trick if you want to do it that way. That clicker looks pretty rough.

toothbrush and grease.

Looks like it was ridden hard and put away wet ...

Cool

Judging by the amount of corrosion....double check those bearings. They most likely will need to be replaced.

I would replace them just because of the rust I'm seeing, and they're cheap.

Nothing a little TLC can't take care of

i typed 506 but its really a 505

BMITCH · February 13, 2015, 04:06:02 PM

Oh! No bearings just bushings....fish it as is than

I do see a bearing in the left side clicker plate.

So must have had parts switched around at some point -- easy to do on these JMs.

Best,

Fred

I'm going to have to agree with what Fred said. Only because I want to appear knowledgeable, and he knows what he's talking about!

theres bearnigs on each sideplate..they might still be ok , because i spun the spool and it went for 20 sec or so

Doesn't really matter, 506 & 505 uses same side plates, and both have bearings

tom5500 · February 14, 2015, 03:45:44 PM

cleaned, sanded everything, it all came out ok.. but i dont think im getting the eccentric jack in the right position, because when its put back together it does spin $:-\$

Sandpaper? No, no, no. Barkeepers Friend cleanser is the best s*** for brass, bronze and copper. Makes it all brand new!!

AND

About the tail side bearing cup.....is there a Newell bearing cup that sizes up the same as the 505/6? Reason being, mine has a couple dig marks from wrong size screwdriver being used. Yeah, yeah....I know. There are some aftermarket, aluminum, anodized, Newell bearing cups and I wouldn't mind that at all on my 505/6s.
