Went to service my reel today, 1st tear down. Went to remove the plate covering the gear/drag system and it did not want to pull off. I removed the 4 screws holding it in place and the 2 small screws on the back side, the star drag. I tried pulling, twisting but I could not get the plate to loosen up or separate, do I need to apply more pressure or am I missing something?
Thank you

Welcome aboard Captain Dav.
I am not familiar with your reel but you won't have long to wait for advice and assistance here. ;D
Did you remove the retainer spring off the gear sleeve? Sometimes those can bind up a bit on the sleeve.
Thank you for the response and the welcome. I reviewed the diagram, I removed all parts down to the #98b clutch bearing, my problem is that I am unable to remove part #1C Right Side Cover Assembly. Any more suggestions are welcome.
Also should I remove the covers of the spool bearings and keep them off to lube them? I was thinking about trying to use an insulin syringe to attempt to inject them.
Thank you-
Hi Dave
I have a Torque200 and think it should be very similar.I have never had a problem taking it apart. You sound like you have done everything correctly. All I can do is offer a couple of pics of my 200 apart. Hope this might help.

Thank you for the pics, looks like the 2 post next to the yoke could be snug and a little patient persuasion may be the ticket.
Thanks,

Has anyone done a complete tutorial on tearing these down yet?
No Tutorial yet. Anyone interested in doing one?
There is one on the 300 on BLOODYDECKS tutorials. I remember reading it a couple of years ago.
it should lift straight up. maybe tapping it with a 12 inch section of broom handle might coax it along. :-\
