After pulling the rotor three times, I replaced the dog and it is fine now.
The dog would engage fine with the rotor off, but after reassembly, it wouldn't work. >:(
The only thing wrong was the tip was a little worn from not engaging properly and breaking the tab on the case.
Can't let that happen again.
Now all I have left is replace the Teflon washers with carbon fiber.

If it is OK with you, Daron --

I can drop a new one in the mail.

Those tabs are finicky to repair on these 4-450 dogs -- and the worst thing is to not have confidence in the ability of the dog to stop the reverse rotation every time when fishing.

Let me know, and it will be done.

I found two new ones I didn't know I had last night.
It has a new one in there and I have a spare. ;)
That is a picture of the old and new one above.
I already purchased another one from Betty and Nick's before I found these. ::)
