Hi Guys,
I have gotten a good deal on a new calcutta conquest 101 (sorry kenny the Scorp. will have to wait ;D)
I want to open it up for the standard flushing, greasing, oiling and Drag upgrade.
How do you get the handle nut off?
My normal box/open wrenches wont work (socket wrenches maybe?)
Also, leftie lossey / righty thighty or backwards?
Also to the guys who have opened one before which parts or do's and dont's I need to be aware of?
Its my first time to open up a JDM (expensive) Reel so I like to make sure I do it right the first time.
Thanx
Try backwards.Its a lefty right????
Handle nut should be 10mm (metric)....
Dawn at Soothdrags has a multi Nut wrench that fits almost all Nuts from Penn knurled to Shimano.. 8 sizes & types....
The 101 is a Left handed reel.. Reverse threaded!!!
Righty loosey.
Lefty Tighty!!! LOL
Jayce its a reverse thread and you need a thin walled socket similar to the Antares socket its 10mm like nessie said, download a pdf and print it big (see the pdf) te 201 is almost the same as cq101dc ,there is a barrel spacer 3121 under the cover that the one of the screws goes through be carefull not to lose it or any of the other small screws i put my parts in in seperate containers for handle, gears,etc.congrats on the conqest dc bro.
