the lever alone should do the trick.  hopefully the problem is the lever and not the side plate.   :-\

ok cool.. also how much for the drag upgrade, and how much for the tool to take off the handle?

use a penn wrench and a carbontex drag set from smoothdrag.  don't forget the cal's grease.

no, i think the penn wrench is just a little bit too small.  a shimano wrench for the tld 20/25 will work for sure, though.

i dunno...  i ordered a lever for a star drag saltist 30T for $10.  i can't imagine why the saltiga would be 5 times as expensive.
