Do you grease the ARB bearing or oil? The 2speed was not working on both reels the Drive Shaft and Gear Shaft were rusted together. >:(

Oil, grease will cause the ARB to slip

correct.  and if rusted, the AR bearing will likely have to be replaced. 

aaaannnnddddd.......  there is a possibility that you could remove the single AR bearing and the nylon bushings, and install two AR bearings.  ok, this is really tricky.  there is a fair amount of difference in the heights of these AR bearings. you would need an assortment to choose from, so that you can mix and match a pair that give you the proper height.  with the main gears and drive shaft out of the reel, you would have to find a pair of AR bearings that are the perfect height so that you can assemble the entire drive assembly, from gears to handle arm, that are spaced properly.  this is not for the faint of heart.  i found some below.  there is no guarantee that these will be the proper height.

There's a knack to that re: pushing the spool shaft from the other side to reveal the circlip bed.
Well done getting it all squared away!
