Rudy,

Thanks for clarifying that. Does make sense now. :D


Sal, Don,

There are 2 metal washers above the lip of the main gear. The carbon washer is at the top of the main gear. So the 2 metal washer should be replaced with either 2 carbon or 2 delrin washers? Also am not sure what that felt washer is for?

Anything above the last keyed washer on top of the last fiber washer is just a spacer. A delrin washer can be placed between the star wheel and the thick wavy washer to make turning the star adjustment easier under pressure. The felt washer assembly is supposed to help keep water and dirt out of the reel but it really doesn't help much. Once it's assembled I wipe a wad of grease between the felt and the plate to help seal it up, but it won't last.

Awesome thanks again Rudy and also to Sal, Don, Ted, Shark Hunter and Gfish!  ;D

Going to give the reel back to my friend and see how it holds up the next time he uses it.  :)
