Oh, you guys are going to get sick of me. I have pent up demand for answers. 😀

Ah yes, this is a Shimano Metanium DC 101 that I was referring to: Shimano Metanium Schematic Debo appears to be working on a Lew's Speed Spool. It's in this video just after 8:15. Debo Disassembly - Reassembly Video Part 1 The other one I'm looking at is the Johnny Morris JCB10HLA. Johnny Morris JCB10HLA

Oops, that last sentence should read "from the clutch cam retainer out I understand".

Thanks. It looks like the inside-out order (that is, starting from the body), is: clutch guard clutch plate, cam plate clutch cam retainer yoke pinion gear The movement is from clutch bar to clutch bar guide to #2 the clutch plate. We haven't talked about the clutch guard. What is it's function? Is it attached by screws to the body, that is, doesn't rotate? Debo appears to just lift it off, but the schematic seems to be showing screws. If there are screws, it wouldn't be able to rotate with the clutch plate. Which is it, attached via screws or just sitting over the raised ring on the body? Rotates or doesn't rotate? The cam plate looks like it picks up the rotary motion of the clutch plate. I also can't tell if it is screwed to it or again, just sitting on molded projections of the clutch plate. From the clutch plate outward, I understand.

I'm used to the anti-reverse clutches on spinning reels but working on baitcasters is new to me. I assume(d) that the one way roller clutch bearing on a baitcaster is the equivalent to the spinning reel clutch. Is that correct? The thumb bar is called the clutch bar on parts schematics. It has nothing to do with the one way roller clutch bearing does it? Or does it? The clutch bar is somehow connected to the clutch spring bushing, the clutch plate, and the cam plate. But how this all works is a mystery to me as this is the part of baitcasters that is rarely taken apart. Debo, to his credit, has taken it apart, but he didn't really explain how it all works. Can somebody here go step-by-step through all that?

In the last month, I have gotten into overhauling my reels and found I really enjoy it. When I had a question, google often sent me here. So I joined so I could ask questions when stumped.
