Has anyone done a complete tear down on a HERTER'S 109 /DAM Quick Junior?
I need some help figuring out how to remove the bail arm side opposite the
Line roller/bail spring side. It appears to be pressed in. How can I remove this without damage to the paint?
Thank You

IF, you think it needs to be removed, Steve (I only remove them if there is a bail replacement needed, or an issue that removal would assist with, or when repainting the reel) — otherwise, they just stay in place and get oiled.
I use a small pair of ignition pliers (possibly one of my most useful and often used tools) — cover the jaws with electrical tape — then rotate and pull out the chrome plated brass male insert (yes, it is just pressed in).
Best, Fred
It can stay put Fred.
I'm just trying to be thorough as possible on all my rebuilds.
Now I know how to do it if I run into this again.
Thank You

Got 'er done. It may not be the best D.A.M. ever produced,
but a pretty solid reel with some parts I had never seen before.
Interesting rebuild.
