ever snap a screw off in reel frame?

[Shark Hunter]

Glad you got it Dog. I Guess you can order those screws from Daiwa. I need to figure that out myself.

indeed I will grease and lube everything.  just a disclaimer here...i got the reel in this condition.  In fact, this is one out of a box of reels I bought for $50 and I'm going thru them one at a time and fixing them up.  I really look forward to chasing Halibut with this Diawa. 

Snowdog: If you have some available, then use never seize. That stuff is great for threads that are exposed to corrosion, I use it on my farm equipment where the bolts are on my cultivator and where they are exposed to fertilizer which is highly corrosive, never had a problem with them seizing. Also use it on the salt spreader parts to prevent the screws and bolts from seizing up.

 Reel224, which never-seize do you use? I like the CRC nickel because it's supposed to be better for stainless and titanium parts. I used the CRC copper before. The Permatex brand is copper aluminum and graphite. I think they have a nickel compound out now too.

Non metallic anti-seize works best when used around saltwater.

I do believe it is silver, but I'm not sure of the brand CRC or another. Ill have to scout it out in my barn/shop.

I think I will try an auto supply store and pick some up .I converted my favorite 501 and a 100 to SS screws  and they have Tiburon frames  SS on aluminum . I used penn grease on  the screws but never considered  anything else. Thanks for the tip   Doug

I havent ordered from them yet(but I still want a second spool for my excler 4500t), but I did call to check price and availability, and they were very pleasant to deal with.

Bryan that's good to know.  I went to Daiwa's web site first but didn't see any way to purchase parts.  I already ordered the frame screws in need from the site I listed above but in the future I will try to contact Daiwa directly, especially since I'm in California too.

Have to leave town for a few days but when I'm back I look forward to installing your Ulitmate Drag upgrade as well as a new handle I ordered from Alan.

I know this thread is old but I just wanted to add some feedback in case someone else is looking for Daiwa parts.

I had ordered new frame screws from an outfit called Mikes Reel Repair and two weeks later the order hasn't been shipped (currently trying to get a refund).

So I took Bryan's advice to go thru Daiwa directly.  I didn't find a way to order parts thru the web site so I called them up.  A real person answered the phone and when I placed my order for a set of frame screws he said he'd ship them out immediately and at no charge as a courtesy!

That's what I call great customer and product support.

Way to go Daiwa!

I was going to say Dog, Others have had problems with Mikes. The fact that they are in Canada doesn't help matters.

It's nice when people keep there word and send things out in a reasonable amount of time, that's just called good business. Glad to hear everything worked out for you in the end.

The bigger pain is when people say they are sending parts and they never come. The phone call isn't a problem.
