Maybe I'm having a blonde moment because it's late?
Just unscrewed the crank handle side spool cap off a Calcutta 201B and there appears to be a locking collar securing the bearing to the spool shaft. Has anyone else encountered this?
And what is the solution for removing the spool assembly?

I have never seen one with a locking collar. only with a thin metal wire retaining spring.
it just taps out. that is not a retaining ring. it's just rusted together.
Thanks Alan.
What appeared to be a retaining ring hiding under the rust was actually a part of the bearing itself.
(Warped perspective due to no shields)
But no way this mess was gonna just tap out.
Required considerable persuasion: irresistible force meets immovable object :)
But ultimately an audible click spelled release.
Shimano's ARB bearings NOT!

I recently had the same experience on my cardiff. ;)
well done!
