I am going through a box of Revo reels. I have come to a issue with the spools not releasing and coming out from the frame. This is occurring in 3 of the 4 STXs. The spools will move about 1/8" then no more. What is causing this? Any thoughts?
it's possible that the spool shaft is stuck inside the pinion gear. not a good situation. add oil, let it soak in and keep your fingers crossed!
I tried the oil and let sit option over night and that did not work. Gotta try right? Well I finally resorted to using a hammer and small screw driver to force the pin through the center of the bearing. Pretty extreme maneuver to get the spool to release from the pin/frame.
