Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Cant crack the case...anyone had these opened?

two screws and the threaded pin that holds the opposite side of the reel on...

Anything I am missing??

Have given it several raps with small plastic mallet around the perimeter to no avail...

you've seen this, right?  http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=16.0

Pull the left side & Spool out...   
There is a screw visible (under Spool) then for left side plate

Thanks, guys...the left end plate would not rotate....not matter what I did to it. Once I saw the breakdown of Alans reel, I realized how it turned...and finall;y got it apart!

glad it worked!
