I recently picked up the JX 2 that included an extra power handle. Does anyone have advise on how to make the swap? I started to but when parts didn't come off easily I decided to look for a "how to" rather then force it
On my JX's you need a tiny screw driver to remove the black cap on the reel handle. This will reveal a 1/4" nut, remove this and several washers should fall out. GENTLY tapping on the handle and it should lift off leaving the bare shaft. Sometimes the bottom bearing will stick but a little spray lube and gentle tapping should free it up.
Good luck
