Grease all hole's to prevent salt intrusion. i brush grease on screw threads by habit
because on reels with frames the tollerance's are tight and no place for the grease to escape.
i noticed screws hard to tighten all the way down, too much grease and force the screws will cause frame cracking in my opinion. i may be wrong but dont want to find out the hard way.
thanks alan for letting me post this on your page. i wanted to show how bad salt can be on those high dollar reels. reels take a beating trolling here in hawaii, but a little service and some prevention will go along way. i think this shows why reels should be serviced before 1st use. i am glad i could rescue these reels and i need to thank you alan for giving me the reel repair bug aloha kamu
wonderful post and rebuild kamuwela . i hope alan adds this to the penn section!

thank you very much! i copied it over to the penn board. also, i use an antique nikon coolpix 4200 camera. it's only 4 megapixels, but it has a macro close up function and it will allow you to color balance any light source. i bought one new for $250. then now sell used on ebay for $20-40. for this type of work, it's a GREAT little camera. please check it out. it will totally eliminate blurry and off color photos. alan
