Hi I need some help finding a few parts for a reel that I just purchased.
100-181 brake spindle w/o ratchet
100-104 2 Washer, Metal
100-499 2 Eared Washer
100-500 2 Washer
100-087 Washer (resitex)
The brake spindle is bound to the spindle axel. I've soaked and heated it and there is still no movement on the shaft. I have a new axel on the way so no I need to rebuild the spool.
Thanks for any help.

Hi rtpzwms --
These are the parts you asked for.
New, old stock.
$15 + $3 shipping.
The spindle on your spool axle is likely slightly rusted. That is why it is important to grease the axle with a thin coat of synthetic grease such as Penn or Yamaha -- after removing the spool via the push button, and drying it out. Or a drop or two of oil.
That old spindle can likely be removed by soaking in Penetrating oil overnight -- then tapping the chrome push button with a wooden or nylon faced mallet -- just moving the brass spindle enough to get up over the lock pin under the spindle.
Then use a pair of vice grips with tape covered jaws on the spool axle -- and a OE wrench on the spindle -- to work the spindle in an opposite direction back and forth to work it apart. Then clean out the spindle with "0000" steel wool wrapped around a small drill bit. And clean off the axle with SW also.
Clean up, to get out any bits of SW -- lube, and it should be good to go.
Let me know with a PM -- your personal information for sending these to you.
Best,
Fred
Thanks again Fred. I did try soaking it overnight, I fear that this has been fused for many years. And this morning I tried to liberate the break spindle from the shaft with no luck yet. I still have my original new to me when I was a kid 220 to compare against. I'll give it another try in a few days to see if things have changed but with the expectation that it will not get much better I'm going to plan b new parts... I have a few of these old reels and love them. I just gave my son a 110N that is a little dream. So smooth and light just a great little reel. I kept the microlite for now. I expect my other son will lay claim to that one soon enough.
But again thank you for your quick reply.
You bet, Rob --
And welcome to the forum.
Those Quicks are very good reels.
Best,
Fred
I purchased some Kroil penetrating oil from reading about how well it works. It does work great. If Kroil and heat doesn't break it free I don't know what would. It does take more heat than you would imagine and it won't hurt the parts.
Another Quick acolyte!
You are in luck Rob, I think Fred has more parts for DAM reels than anyone else.
He keeps me in parts for my Supers.......
And Welcome!
Best,
