I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

How much do you need ? If it's just a little, you could probably make it work by using a drill.
Some of my Newell spool shafts are a little larger than Penn's, when I try to remove the spool from the reel at times it won't budge, the shaft  gets jammed in the bushing.
If that's the case, spin the spool on a drill, holding the other end of the shaft in some 600 grid sandpaper and finish with fine ss wool.  That should do it, it works for me.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
