Hi Everyone,
this is my 3 rd okuma reels with problems. previously was the Okuma Vsystem V55, Then the Okuma Salina 55 and Now the Okuma Cedros 65- which is the latest i bought.. -perhaps would be the last if i keep having problems with these okuma's... .p.s I already decommissioned My Okuma Vs55 and the Salina 55... I'm a bit tired keep having problem :'(
I attached the picture of the rotor with the crack. i hope everyone can see it.

As Okuma was bought by Rapala VMC recently, i don't know where i can get my parts in Indonesia (they end the agreement with previous okuma distributor and retailer). I already tried to contact them and waiting for answers.
anyway, anyone in this forum ever have the Same problem? as i remember Mr. AT is having some of this Cedros reel. I hope either him or someone else have the spare parts...
Thanks.. I really Appriciate it...

You can check in on Goooogle mate...
marko, a box arrived just before the weekend. it is from okuma and it should have the rotor in it. i need your address again. it you would, please send it to me via e-mail at alantani@yahoo.com. if you can get links to schematics and part numbers, i can try to get you the other parts.

Dear Mr. AT.
i'll try to search the part number and the schematics. i'll get to You soon.
Thanks
Dear Mr. AT,
the parts number for SALINA SAF 80 roller bearing is 0910018 (i assume it's the same as regular SA 80).
i see it here : http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/albums/userpics/Okuma_SAF_80.pdf
the parts number for okuma cedros 65 handle is :25005155
i see it here : http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/albums/okuma/Okuma_CJ65.pdf
thanks.
i found your jakarata address and got the rotor all wrapped and ready to ship.
Hi alantani
I have Okuma Cedros CJ65 i have just bought it few weeks ago and i need to change the hand right to left hand and i have a problem to take out the handle shaft after unscrew the hexagon nut.. can you please help me to solve this problem as soon as possible
Thanks regards
Josef
i have the same reel. my handle is on the left. i undid the cap on the right side, unscrewd the handle clockwise, unscrewed the hex nut clockwise and then pushed the shaft on the right side straight out. remember that the threads are different, right versus left.
I have this reel too, and not happy at all. Been using it for spinning and the bail arm kept on getting loose until once it flew into the sea just after casting. I had another one the CJ85 and this one has locked up after only just a few sessions of medium/heavy spinning.
What are they like for a complete novice to work on and try to fix?
contact the okuma people and see if they can help you out. they are not hard to work on, but there is one critical trick to the the reel, lining up the gears (small hole to red dot), and you can mess up the gears if you don't get it right. the rotor gear is eliptical and has to be lined up properly.
I need to contact okuma since i need a replacement bearing. The amount of salt build up with mushy grease inside was incredible!
Thanks for the heads up on aligning the gears Alan, i'll be sure to remember
Alan,
sorry to be a pain and for hijacking this thread... Its just that the anti-reverse of this reel is really frustrating me.
I've put everything back together just as it was, spring included etc.... but the anti-reverse does not seem to kick in.
would you have any ideas why?
when i toggle the switch on & off, i can see the mechanism with the spring work and move but then when i test it, it does not work
wierd. i can't even find the schematic. it's been over a year since i cracked mine open. if it is the style of AR bearing that i think it is, i would have been very careful to leave the bearing intact. this might be a good time to send it to okuma for service. they might even be able to upgrade the drag for you. let me know if you can find a schematic on line. alan
Hi guys...
I'm new here, and joined cause it seems like a nice place to share and solve problems with reels :)
I have similar problem with my Salina ii, I cannot unscrew handle. I bought it second hand and reel is in decent state, but handle is stuck and cannot be unscrewed.
Do you have some sugestions what I could do ?
thanks
If it's similar to the Cedros it will unscrew clockwise for a left hand wind (left handed thread). For a right hand wind you need the additional handle shaft which will tighten up clockwise (right hand thread).
