Hey guys, been a long term lurker and recent member and have learned tons from this site. It's time to start giving back.
A friend brought over this reel and told me to re-grease the insides.
I still have alot to learn but this is my basic procedure to all spinning reels that do not have any noticeable AR or bearing issues. I always check after i do everything to make sure the reel is smooth the way it is supposed to be, but i seldom open up under the rotor.

Ok well that being said let's start off.
Here is the reel
This one is missing a piece on here(Owner has it)
Let's start off by removing the spool
A quick look at the drag knob
The top side of the spool
And the bottom side
Shaft
Remove the drag washers
Dirty huh?
Use Cal's grease to lube the washers, these seem like a Teflon like material
Reassemble the whole stack, then put some more cal's on the top of the spool
Now let's see whats in the drag knob
Clean these out and install them back in place
On the bottom side of the spool, clean off old grease and apply a little bit to the clicker. I use Penn blue grease for this
Rotor
Clean the click gear
Some blue grease and put it back together
Moving on, the line roller
Clean, grease the line roller and put it back together
Loosen the bail arm screw, and pack some grease under the bail arm
Remove the handle lock screw and the handle. Clean and grease the exposed areas, and drop a drop of oil on the grip bushing.
Now let's open up the inside....
Pretty decent shape
Remove the Oscillating slider
Pull the drive gear up and out
I set these aside for now.
This is what we are left with
Some napkins/old rag and a toothbrush and clean all the old grease off.
Regrease with blue grease
Clean and grease the drive gear
Both sides
Clean and grease the sideplate
Apply a drop of grease to the screw holes
ALL DONE!
I hope this helps someone
thank you very much. if you can measure out the drag washers (id x od x th) i would like to send you a set of drag washers for your reel. they may have to be hand cut, but you will love the results! alan
Thanks again for all the replies. I finally got into the reel today, but am a little stuck moving forward into it. The gears look better than when I had first opened up the case and probably do not need to be replaced. I am not sure how to remove the rotor assembly from the main body or remove the anti-reverse. If anyone has a suggestion, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks all,
Matt
Where the rotor and it's gear enter the body if the reel you will find a "clip" of some fashion that will pull out. Then you can remove the rotor.
It's usually a flat U shaped clip.
