Mystic Reel Parts is where you can find the Penn 505 pinion gear.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Oh cool thanks alot will def order one today Thanks

If you can grab a hold of the pinion gear with a pair of channel lock pliers then horizontally twist it and it will either twist off or crumble.

A word of caution be careful using chemicals or hear around the plastics.

I recently cleaned up a Penn Peerless No. 9 and encountered my first pinion gear frozen to the spool. After 2 days of soaking it in penetrating oil and working from both sides with 2 screwdrivers nothing changed. I came up with a solution that may help someone in the future. I used the pieces of wood from a common clothes peg which luckily fitted snug over the small pinion gear and with the help of lock pliers managed to work it loose with no damage to the plastic spool or pinion gear.
Some reconstructed pictures attached.

This is a very good tip Alan, thanks for showing.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Wow, wooden clothes pin and Vise-Grips --

Yes, I'd heard a 505 would work but when I tried it, sure enough, the ring is smaller. So... how do you make the bigger ring stay on the smaller pinion? Got any photos of the results?

So is the stock Jigmaster gear set a direct fit, no modification needed?

I just had a nasty mishap, accidentally tripped the lever on a full force cast with my G332F. That's a sound you don't ever want to hear from your reel!
