Daiwa Lexa 300HS-P Video Service Tutorial

[ReelSpeed]

Alright guys, here is another service tutorial on the new Daiwa Lexa.  Good looking reel, with a very nice size carbon fiber drag thanks to the 7.1:1 gear ratio!  Sorry they don't have a published schematic for this one yet... Hope you enjoy!

Aaron,

YOUR BACK WITH A VENGANCE AARON !  Excellent; and I mean excellent tutorial!! Keep up the excellent work and welcome back. I enjoy seeing what tools others use in reel maintenance.  BTW Aaron. lets see some pictures of your work area as some of the other "Heavy's" have done.  Man I like that speed handlle assembly on this reel and would like to put it on a couple of reels.

Thank,

Leo

Cheers fishing mates,
when will the Lexa schematics been out? Isnt one in the box? Maybe I can get one PDF of the 300HSL-P via mail?
Or plz just need the spare parts numbers for the complete Lexa 300HSL-P frame / handle with knobs and screws.
Hopefully my german dealer can order me this nice part then!
Would like to know why Daiwa left the Lexa 300HSL-P with a disengaging levewind. Would have made a super replacement for my beloved Toro 51 of Abu Garcia if it had a non-disengaging levelwind for norway fishing. Maybe at next modells.

Cheers
Thomas

I have one of these reels apart now. When I took the Magnet Holder Retainer Ring (Key 11) I heard what sounded like a spring unwinding. I now need to get the left side plate opened all the way.  Any leads on how to accomplish it? Thanks in advance!!!

The left side comes apart easily by loosening the right side thumb screw, then twist the LS plate clockwise to get it off.

Just make sure the dial is at ten or all the way on, then the alignment will be right when put back together and turned back to zero.

These are great reels. I have 4 of them now in different sizes. Very easy to service.
