Title: TLD 15
Post by: CAPN HOOK on May 14, 2009, 01:46:50 PM
Hi all - I recently read your rebuild for the Shimano TLD-15, Alan - great stuff. One of my TLD 15s wasn't free spooling at the beginning of the year, so I thought I'd take it apart and clean it. I checked the schematics, followed your steps; I cleaned and greased all the parts and everything works great except for the drag. When I open the drag control lever to the free position with the drag on, it sounds like the click pawl is missing, or skipping  ??? Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks!

No! As I suspected, I've done something silly...  :-\
