Steve,

Money received! Thank you

Nick,

Full payment sent via Venmo (Kelly, my wife's account).

Please let me know you got it.

Thanks,

Steve

Yelloweye, short raker and others are even older.

The pinion was not disengaging from the pinion bearing and locking up the bearing.  However, the customer decided he did not want that twitch feature and doesn't use it so I took out the gear that drives it and all is well.  Thanks for the info

Steve

Have a reel in the shop that needs a clutch handle.  A Daiwa Saltist BG 40H   Key 44, Part number E60-5301.  Discontinued by Daiwa and none of the parts suppliers I know have it.  Wondering if anyone might have one they want to sell.

Thanks, Steve

You have to be extremely careful to support the sideplate properly while punching it out. I use a socket with an ID slightly larger than the OD of the bearing, then drill a hole into a block of wood slightly larger than the OD of the socket to recess it until the whole sideplate is barely touching the wood and the immediate material around the bearing is directly supported by the face of the socket.
