QuoteI have always used 1/16", 1/8", or 5/32" punches and a hammer, on these.

The crank is secured on a block of wood in a divot with the underneath drilled with a 1/4" pin escape hole.

That's how I do it and have never had a really bad one. I think the trick is to determine the correct end out, tap carefully until you get the pin to move and once there's a little recess to steady the punch get a little more aggressive. A ribbed pin will slide in the grooves when backing it out. It's impossible to drive it on through, though.

  Fred by any chance is # 127  Spring for taper key still available  ?       I would like to change this one out.     joe 

No, I do not have one, Joe...Sorry

I am doing a 2-speed for Sheridan, and the one in his was rusted and would not last much longer — so I used the tiniest dog spring from a Penn Squidder — and just snipped out 2 coils.

Best,

Fred

After assembly and playing with it 2 things I didn`t like was main bearing was noisy and the old style bail flip.
No mater how much deburring /rounding over the bail needed a good push on the handle .

  So i used parts from a 270      I though i was going to get away with just changing the  bearing/drive shaft assembly from the 270 ,NO that not going to work .
  The drive shafts are different , 1 is left hand helix and the other is right hand. So i just changed the bearing.
 
I used the new style switch ring ,what a difference , nice smooth bail flips.

Hi Joe —

Whichever trip/switch ring you are using — it is always useful to apply a dab of grease on the trip nub, or on the copper ramp ups.

You probably already know this, but it prevents issues down the road — and allows an even smoother bail snap with less friction to prevent gouging in the salt.

Good job on that old reel!

Best,

 What was the reason for the ramp up ?   To me it seams to be there so you can only open the bail in one place .

Just to ease the sudden resistance for parts longevity.  Plus, I guess the copper can be bent to the anglers preference, slightly.

Either works fine — but the solid ring is a better system.
