Hi all,
I picked up this old Shimano triton trolling series reel and it came with a roller guided rod. Most of the guides were frozen up so I took the out and was able to get 5 of the 7 guides back rolling nicely again. Two of them I can seem to get the sleeves to budge from the inside of the guide, using any tools around the house. Tried soaking in coke which worked for most of them but these won't budge. Any tips?
Also one of the rollers has a small nick so I'll probably be replacing it. Where is a good place to get a replacement? And how do I know what size to order?
Thanks
You can try a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid or PB Blaster to loosen the sleeves. Also a couple heat/freeze cycles may help.
For new guides try Jan's Netcraft or Mudhole. Bill
Aftco rollers? I have some spares if you need them

Thanks Jason. Not sure if they're aftco rollers or not as the rod is second hand. I got some replacements but I'm in need of one more and could use some spares. Please send me a pm
Thanks again
Aftco's have a number on the top is an easy way to tell. The most common ones are 51,41,or 31. A picture would be helpful
