110 rotor question ..

I have a 110 rotor that will not budge. Question...these rotors pull off, correct? I know the Microlites are threaded on but I haven't seen a 110 that is threaded. Any ideas on how to get this thing off? Soak it overnight with PB Blaster, still won't move. Thanks, Joe.

Yes, they are threaded.. Only other reel I recall dealing with threaded rotors was the Daiwa 7250.

Thanks, it is a left hand thread or right? My memory is going, I don't remember these guys having the threaded rotor.

The 110 and the 265 are both THREADED.

Plus, you must be careful -- the threads are very fine, in the aluminum rotor -- and if cross threaded on to the steel Worm/Pinion -- could ruin the rotor.

Another note of caution on the earlier 265 Microlites -- there are (2) versions. One has typical Righty-Tighty threading -- the other is left hand threading.

Best,

Fred,

Is the rotor nut & rotor right or left hand thread? I just picked up a 110 that needs looked into...

Hi Kal --

All DQ 110 Microlites are right-tight.

The next generation older 265 Microlite can be either right or left -- since there was an early and late version during their 4 year run.

Best, Fred

I was working on a 110 a few weeks ago--my first. If you are careful, dealing with the rotor should pose no issues. The fact that the rotor is threaded on threw me for a bit, but it was easy enough to deal with. Like Fred said, take your time putting it back on to avoid cross-threading; I had no issues with this once forewarned.
