Hello, my name is Petar. Could anyone advise me how to service Shimano Triton Mark III thrust drag bearing? Thanks in advance!
			
			
			
				just drizzling a light oil in should be sufficient.  
			
			
			
				Thanks, Alan!
			
			
			
				Triton Mark III thrust bearing - glimpse inside. And the way the soft and hard drag washers were positioned )(. 
			
			
			
				Sorry for the duplicate pics! 
Pin removal (watchmaker's) tool - quiet, precise  and convenient for reel gear sleeve removal on the kitchen table. I was surprised how well it works to remove and replace the pin  8)

				Look what a new guy can do with just a question!!  Fantastic.
			
			
			
				Thanks, everyone! Before I opened my first reel I've opened 200+ mechanical watches :)
Alan, these are better (stronger and of better hand control):

				yeah, saw that.  just ordered one.  thanks!!!!
			
			
			
				Ordered one. Nice.
			
			
			
				Nice prices. Except for that $790 German shaft polisher, 'er whatever it was. Tools are 2nd only to reels for me. What would you guy's use these for? Other than a pin-punch?

this one is perfect for taking out the caps on some shimano handle knobs and lube de bearings.
			
 
			
			
				Could someone confirm I can replace the original Mark III/IV friction drag washers with those for Penn 113H? If yes, any suggestions what I could use as for under the gear spacer? I know sets are available but I am looking for 3 sets and a reasonable price. Thanks!
