just drizzling a light oil in should be sufficient.

Sorry for the duplicate pics!
Pin removal (watchmaker's) tool - quiet, precise  and convenient for reel gear sleeve removal on the kitchen table. I was surprised how well it works to remove and replace the pin  8)

Thanks, everyone! Before I opened my first reel I've opened 200+ mechanical watches :)
Alan, these are better (stronger and of better hand control):

Nice prices. Except for that $790 German shaft polisher, 'er whatever it was. Tools are 2nd only to reels for me. What would you guy's use these for? Other than a pin-punch?

Could someone confirm I can replace the original Mark III/IV friction drag washers with those for Penn 113H? If yes, any suggestions what I could use as for under the gear spacer? I know sets are available but I am looking for 3 sets and a reasonable price. Thanks!
