So I was given a model BSM-1551B to tinker with. I'd like to service it,,but...when I got the frame separated from the "cage"? I call it a cage,because the guts are trapped behind a shiny metal plate..and I'm not sure of how to get inside..I've never been inside a baitcaster from 1988.
So,,anyone familiar with these?
There should be two screws on the handle side plate, remove them along with the handle & drag star.
Have you removed the LHS side plate yet? I would be thinking that the spool will come out the LHS and there would be screws on the inside of the RHS frame that are hidden by the spool. Otherwise I would be looking down those holes in the frame for hidden screws. Photos of LHS?
cheers
