Kick Springs

[Jayce]

Hi,

When I do maintenance on my Baitcasting gear. I try to avoid messing with parts connected to those Kick Springs
(small wire thingys that help snap things back in position).

I tried it before and took me about 2hrs just to put it back and to get things kicking in the right places.

I like to learn how to tame these little critters.
How do you guys do it ?

I want to do a total cleaning of my Citica 201E (It got wet during a heavy rain storm).

sometimes a dental pick with a hook bent into it works.  sometimes it takes a pair of sharpened needle nose pliers.  there is usually a fair amount of luck and/cussing involved.  the 12 year old rule applies in my house, not in my garage!
