Very nice Job hafnor, I always wanted to see what that reel looked like on the inside. Does the housing cover have a gasket?
That reel is not cheap, maybe these would help a little :-\.

I asked Aaron if he was willing to make us some sets of pliers with teflon jaws, but never heard back from him.
Thanks for sharing. Sal
x2 on Sal's post - great job Hafnor.
Love the design - form follows function.
Nice work, Justin
thank you guys. I really like the simplicity of the whole reel, and that plier looks very valueable!
Hafnor, what kind of grease are you using on that reel. I've opened a few reels not long ago and the grease was simlar to yours. I really liked the consistency but wasn't sure about durability, so I just wiped it all off.
very nice!

Hi alto mare. The grease used here was a multi purpose grease from penn. I got it from an international reel (followed in the package) The grease had very good concistensy. very easy to work with and was sticky enough to sit firm on the parts.
Thanks Hafnor! I really liked the consistency and how it stayed on parts.
Thank's for a great tutorial Hafnor. Your post should encourage those of us who are reluctant to break down and service spinners.
This reel was so easy you won't believe it. I hate spinners really but this one was a lot of fun
nice job hafnor....
do it crank smoother now?
no longer the tank's grease inside...... i don't think so.... ;D
Good to know that the Van Staal's are easy to service. Dreading to open my Saltiga.

woww.. great post, I have a friend who told me if I am brave enough to service his van staal and everysingle site I saw there was a service kit for $80, but this thread just shows how easy could be.
this is really old thread since the OP post but I have few questions:
does the reel feel smoother? even a bit?
this reel has 5 or 7 seals (as far as I remember) most on the drag and some on the inner gears but I couldnt identify any of those seal on the main gears.
thanks a lot, I think you just save a lot of guys $80 dlls for the service kit tools.
:) Great work!!
If you need help identifying or just naming and parts of a VS 100 or 150 you can reference this exploded view:
