Anyone know how to get the handle nut off?
Thanks!
G'day tunacub,
Here's Alan's tutorial on the Saltiga/Saltist 40:

Note the wrench in the last photo (bottom right), ie http://www.fullspeedfishing.com/gallery/data/500/medium/saltiga_009.jpg (http://www.fullspeedfishing.com/gallery/data/500/medium/saltiga_009.jpg).
I believe Alan's heavy duty Penn wrenches fit most Daiwas, Abus etc, ie http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=164.0 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=164.0)
Hope that's of some assistance.
Good luck!
Justin
The saltiga 40Z has a different handle and handle nut on it... it is round with no grooves on it.... any one else seen one of these??
there has to be some way. can you post a photo?
I have not seen a Z model but here is some info I got off the Daiwa site.
Features:
CNC-machined one piece aluminium body
Hyper Digigear
Dual system infi nite anti-reverse
Grease impregnated multi disc drag system
Precision machined alloy spool for maximum strength
Z models feature sealed gear box
Non-set plate design. Inner parts built directly onto frame for dead on alignment
Z models feature 6 CRBB's (corrosion resistant ball bearings)
Adjustable "Quick Shift" handle on Z40 model
Automatic spool engage
The bold portion may have something to do with your problem
Here's a photo of the handle-fastening mechanism.
You just reverse the winding direction and it pops up, which allows you to adjust the length of the handle while fighting a fish.

Still no progress on finding out how to remove it, however.
When it pops up, is there a nut visible beneath?
All the best, Justin
that would be my guess as well.
