Slow free spool...Daiwa Sealine 20 SLOSH..how to fix?

[BrokeLoser]

I have a like brand new Sealine 'slosh' 20 that I picked up used..this thing looks almost un-used and everything seems to function perfectly but the free spool seems a little slow. I've goofed with the spool tension knob and backed it all the way out and it still seems slow compared to my 30 and 40. I know this is no scientific method or anything but...In free spool, with no line loaded, with a good flick of the thumb how long should it spin? I'd like to avoid sending it in for a full overall. Is their a 'quick fix' for this?

typically you'd clean the bearings and pinion gear (if you do not have a disengaging spool), then lube the bearing with your lube of choice.

I've never taken apart a conventional reel before. Is their a step by step tutorial on this reel I can find somewhere?
Thanks Alan
