How do you disassemble the spool on this reel to access the drags? The three prong spring washer looks to be pressed on the spool shaft.

Thanks!

Andy just push the top center of the spool and it will come apart in 2 pieces.

If you check a schematic there's not much in between the two other than a click spring and, maybe, a Teflon washer.
