I have soaked ends in liquid wrench and heat. So far no luck moving the shaft. Will persist

Walter,
Some photos after your thorough cleaning would be a nice addition for later reference.  :D
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Sorry for the late reply.
I took some detailed photos here, maybe that helps.

Like I said, interesting reel. Is it just me, or do the French design things a little more complicated than need be?

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
