Cool video, very easy to follow. I just did this service on my HX and it didn't take long at all.
My only question is, do you pull the shields off your bearings?
Thanks

I have done this in the past as I service the reels often. With friends that forget to service as often, I do not. Avet has started using both bearings with metal seals and bearings with one shield. I deal with both and have has not issues if regularly serviced. They sell new ones for about $5 each so when I get a reel from someone that has not been vigilant I swap them out for new ones.
Great video, I serviced two yesterday, two more to go. I do have a question: one of the reels had a squeak while working in a 20 lb. dolphin. Of course it doesn't have it if the reel is not under a serious load. It was the first one I cleaned and didn't notice anything obvious. I oiled all of the bearings and greased properly. I hope that took care of it. Any thoughts on the source?
Try looking at my Avet handle service video if you are sure all bearings are aok. I am leaving for yellowtail this weekend and tested all of my previously serviced reels. My area is very dry and I ended up oiling all three handles. All spin effortlessly and quietly. I actually quickly serviced all three reels and re-greased one drag. All tested out well.
