Bass n’ Trout

Thx guys. I disassembled the reel and took off the plate on the handle side and found the hole that the screw goes into. I filled it with super glue and put the screw inside with some oil on it in effort to not let it bond with the super glue. After about 45 minutes I unscrewed the screw from the super glue. Then I put plate back on and screwed in the other screws and finally it was the moment of truth. I turned the screw driver and supprisingly the super glue held the new threads I made super well and the screw firmly went right into place. Now the graphite plate is held firmly and I’m ready to fish. Thank you guys so much!

Thanks guys. I’m usually good about putting things back the same way so I assumed that they were all the right screws but it turns out that two were mixed up. I’m not sure if I was the one or if Shimano’s matinance workers mixed it up last time I took it in. It still doesn’t screw in even with the right one but thankfully the other screw I mixed it up with is fine. I’m going to try your guys’ tactics and get back to you. Thanks for all of the feedback By the way, do you guys get this problem with an aluminum frame?

Hello. I just took my reel apart for matinance because the gears sounded a little loud from the grease coming off. When I took the plate off and unscrewed everything it was fine, but when I put it back on and tried to screw one of the screws in it wouldn’t screw in. The screw’s threads seem fine, so I think it is in the whole it goes into. It is a Shimano casitas and the frame is graphite which probably made it easier to strip. Is there any way to fix the problem without buying a whole new frame? Can I fill the hole with some time of epoxy or glue with the screw in there to maybe re thread it? Thanks. I really like this reel so I would appreciate any adivice.
