I am trying to service a customer's Okuma Convector CV45L's level wind but the pawl won't come out of its housing... Any ideas?
A little tapping with a screwdriver is usually enough. I tried heating the housing with a cigarette lighter, but to no avail.
The sleeve looks bent. Maybe someone else knows the answer. Usually there is a screw to disengage the pawl??? Dominick
Drill a tiny 3/64" hole about 1/16" deep into the exposed part of the pawl -- then just use a pick to extract it.
Best,
Fred
Thanks Fred, Dominick!
I heated the housing again, took the c-lock off, allowed the worm shaft to screw out as much as possible, and the pawl slid out just enough to be held by a pliers and be pulled out! ;D
Sometimes, I find myself too hasty in asking for help, but I guess it is because I know this forum is one place where help is never far away!
Cheers!
