Post by: trishul on January 26, 2012, 03:36:03 PM
fellow members, since i have joined this forum and learnt a great deal from all your input i thought i might as well contribute something, by no means am i a pro but i try and look after my equipment to the best of my abilitys and learning from posts of others here, please let me know if i have made any mistakes,,, below you will find my exp totally stripped down lubed and put back together also i choose this model as i dint see it here. hope you enjoy and hope this may help others with a similar reel.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/1.jpg)
ab0ve is my reel fully taken apart, its always a g00d idea t0 arrange rem0ved parts in a way s0 y0u d0nt f0rget h0w they g0 back in and its als0 nice t0 wipe clean the w0rk dest as dirt can get in the parts

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/2.jpg)
above is the bearing that sits in the spool i open the retainer ring with a needle i stole from my maid, be paitent in removing this retainer and you will see its not impossible also any damage will be avoided, remove these on both sides then take off the shields with care using a sharp pin.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/3.jpg)
here i have packed the bearing with cals drag grease reas0n i ch00se this was as the ctex sits ab0ve this bearing and when a fish strikes and runs grease can spill 0ut the bearing s0 with cals drag grease there will be n0 c0ntaminati0n 0f the drag stack

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/4.jpg)
return the shield same side as y0u f0und it then slide back the retainer as sh0wn in the pic d0nt f0rget t0 d0 it t0 b0th sides

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/5.jpg)
next return the bearing back in the sp00l

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/6.jpg)
this is h0w the bearing sh0uld sit in the sp00l.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/7.jpg)
next take y0ur ctex washer and lightly massage the cals drag grease 0n it pls n0te that f0r saltiga z5000-6500exp in the start there is 0ne ctex washer at the base but in the s extreme 6500 there are tw0 ctex washers at the base.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/8.jpg)
next put the washer in sp00l and wipe 0f the excess grease with a clean cl0th 0r new tshirt after this put y0ur key washer, c0ntinue this in the same manner and 0rder as y0u 0riginally f0und the washers l00k at my first pic f0r a refrence if needed

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/9.jpg)
this is h0w it will l00k when y0ur d0ne.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/10.jpg)
next take y0ur drag kn0b click plate and install it i ch00se t0 lightly grease it with drag grease but this may n0t be needed.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/11.jpg)
n0w install y0ur drag washer retainer and pls make sure it sits in its gr00ves in the sp00l

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/12.jpg)
this is h0w it sh0uld l00k when d0ne

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/13.jpg)
n0w turn y0ur sp00l 0ver and add a dr0p 0f c0rr0si0n x 0n that funny metal thing (have n0 idea what its called)

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/14.jpg)
n0w take y0ur drag kn0b (f0r this reel i have the radiati0n drag kn0b since i like the l00ks) and put a little cals drag grease in the h0le as seen in the pic again i used cals as i d0nt want the drag stack being c0ntaminated by a diffrent grease, h0w ever its unlikely t0 happen but better safe then s0rry its kinda like ch00sing t0 wear a c0nd0m 0r n0t im sure y0u get the idea

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/15.jpg)
n0w lightly rub s0me grease 0n the drag kn0bs rubber seal s0 it may never dry up and be ruined, pls n0te even the standard kn0bs have this seal, the S0m kn0bs are slightly diffrent h0wever all are g00d

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/16.jpg)
n0w y0u are d0ne with the sp00l and all its bits.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/17.jpg)
n0w im g0ing t0  start with the 0scilliating gear assy as y0u can see ab0ve its all been cleaned up and is ready t0 put back, y0u d0nt have t0 d0 this all the time its a pers0nal ch0ice

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/18.jpg)
please n0tice the gr00ve that l00ks like a bracket 0n the metal bit, there is a raised bit same as that 0n the plastic bit and they need t0 sit int0 each 0ther

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/19.jpg)
its nice t0 put s0me c0rr0si0n x 0n the metal bit f0r pr0tecti0n.

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o575/trishul2/saltiga%20exp%20service/20.jpg)
put the tw0 t0gether like this and make sure the pr0trusi0ns 0n each where the spring sits is facing each 0ther, als0 be care full with the spring when putting it in its very easy t0 l00se 0r damage it, a dr0p 0f c0rr0si0n x 0n the spring w0nt d0 any bad

Thanks for sharing trishul, I have 2 daiwa catalina, one 4500 and the other 6500.  I've been using the 4500 a bit more than 3 years without giving any care except in the outer and I decided to upgrade the drag washers to carbontex, clean and grease it inside. I´m wondering if these reels can be disassembled by following this tutorial and also if there is anything I can upgrade like bushings.

hi toni i belive u can take them apart however the 4500 is a bit diffrent in the sense that the emergency antireverse is diffrent,, i belive the catalinas are just as good more or less the same maybe a few bearings less, im not sure bout changing the bushings but im sure u can upgrade with higher quality ceramic bearings, i have just updated mine with ctex washers, and more recently an som kit and a jm power arm with a jm knob when u taking yours apart just take care and be gentle cheers

Awesome!! I have a saltist 5000 that has befuddled me. The internal anti reverse spring came off as it was coming apart, and I had no clue how to re-assemble.

Thanks so much for the tutorial...it helped immensely!!

great job,  thanks for putting in the time to do this.  Is the daiwa dogfight pretty much made the same way?  (older version dogfight)  It seems very similar.

Post by: trishul on October 31, 2012, 06:25:07 AM
hi the d0g fight i belive is made in the same way but the pini0n and main gears must be diffrent as it has a higher gear rati0.

Seems the oneway clutch is greased and not oiled. Same happened with a reel i had for service.
Degrease the clutch and oil with a low temperature oil or let in dry in times of cold temperatures.

For the gear and bearings i can recommend MOLYKOTE® 33 EXTREME LOW TEMP. BEARING GREASE, LIGHT or MEDIUM. Not cheap the stuff, but proven in arctic temperatures.

Hi Trishul I am trying to upgrade my saltige 6500Z to 6500H, can you please guide on how can I do it by myself. I already order the main gear shaft for the conversion, can I just removed only the body cover to change the gear without removing the rotor?
Do you a step by step photo on how to disassemble this reel?  Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Post by: trishul on August 24, 2014, 12:53:18 PM
hi sorry for the late reply,  i have never tried doing such a conversion my self but if i was to do it id remove the rotor first so i can open the main body, then just be extra sure id change the main gear, pinion gear, ociliation gear and idle gear,  basically id change all the gears personally if doing such a conversion reason being what you intend to do is to change the gear ratio and i would imagine all the gears in the reel would need to be replaced with the higher gear ratio ones.

hope that helps
cheers

hi qaraujo sorry for the late reply works been hectic

a bearing packer is very usefull tool that you can attach to a grease gun and repack your bearings with new grease, by doing so you get better performance from your bearings
