Hello everyone,

[quang tran]

I think it was press in not screw in

I think it was press in not screw in

ugghhh!  that would be worse!!!

I wouldn't worry about getting the rotor.  All the coolness lies in getting the bail release thing working.

Ok Alan, I'm back on this reel again.
This project started out as a fix on the anti-reverse.
To get at the anti reverse, the whole reel has to be disassembled. Go figure.
I was able to get the rotor off, it is a clockwise rotation. No damage to brass gears, but what a pain.
Next I had to press out the bushing and pinion gear together, this step was simple in it self. A c-clamp a small socket on the spur gear and a large socket on the other side to let the bushing and gear slide out the other side. All this just to get at the anti reverse dog. The old grease turned solid preventing the dog from operating properly. WOW!!! There are not very many parts to this reel, fairly simple in design and operation. Nothing like the feurer brothers 202.
I cleaned all parts. Getting ready to reassemble. I will post pictures of the disassembly and reassembly.

Quick summary,
Remove spool
Remove rotor, clockwise rotation
Press out pinion gear and bushing together.
Remove handle
Remove spur gear
Remove anti reverse dog
Clean all parts including screws
Reassemble in reverse order using synthetic grease and synthetic oil.
This reel works wonderfully.
The gears didn't have any wave over.
The anti reverse has no play/ no adjustment at all. It has to be perfect in order for it to work correctly.
Thank you for your help Alan, expanding j bolt worked great.

Well done, Coffee, it cleaned up nicely! 👍

If you haven't come across it yet, I did a total break down of a FB202 Flip Reel a few years back. You can read about it here https://alantani.com/index.php?msg=266571
& here https://alantani.com/index.php?msg=266605.
That was quite an interesting dis/re assembly. 😀

I did come across your  fb202 break down post.
When I first removed the side plate and seen all the gears I just laughed and put the cover back on.
Did some research, and found your post.
Thats what gave me the incentive to take mine apart and clean it up.
It is a new old stock or mint on box reel.
It was completely seized up from sitting for so many years. I'm sure you know about the old grease that was used way back then, after it sits for so long it becomes glue.
The steps on that reel were more time consuming. I haven't worked on a reel with so many gears or moving parts involved. 
I had a lot of fun getting that one to work again.
Very unique and unusual reel.
I guess when a person got tired of reeling forward they would just simply start reeling backwards.  lol.

glad it worked out!!!

Nice job Coffee!  That's the great thing about this site - even on the off the wall reels you will likely find someone that has one and has serviced it.  Are you gonna fish this one?  Let's see some "on the water" photos!  And it doesn't have to be a state citation record fish - anything counts here! - john

I'm a new member
I have a question
I have a Ashaway surf slip caster.
Im trying to remove the rotor.
Is the rotor threaded on the pinion shaft? Is it a right hand thread or a left hand thread?

Hi everyone again.
I'm trying to figure out how to create a new post. I'm not very computer savvy.
So I'm adding this to my first post.
Found this reel in a box with many other Reels. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures again.
Can anyone identify this reel?

Right hand on the sub board below the sub board name, "user action".  Then hit "new topic".

Why create multiple threads? People will see this.
