My revo sx that i just got repaired the end of last season is screaming horribly on the cast. There is deffinetly some friction in there because it is restricting distance. I really don't know how to work on this real, i don't even know how to take the side plate off. Maybe BPS has a cheaper reel repair deal than the place i shipped it off to last time. Wut should i do here?

flush the spool bearings then re-oil

Buy a better quality reel.... If you're sending it off

For repairs a second time.... I know that's not what you wanna hear, but repair costs, shipping,

Over a couple times of that and boom you're

Just going to be thinking on a replacement anyway.... I do wish you luck on getting back to

Fishing...

Look into how to disassemble the reel and then flush you bearings. Then re-oil them and reassemble it and I'm thinking you'll be good to go. It's really not a big issue to fix at all. If you're really having a hard time with it, look into sending DVT. He post on here all the time and from what I hear, he does really good work. He's also offering a 10% discount to bass resource members.

Dry spool bearings. I had a reel doing this yesterday...a little oil made it quiet right down and improved casting distance considerably.

. Wut should i do here?

Send it to Mike at DVT. He is a sponsor here and he knows his trade!

A dry bearing can make a screech but 9/10 times the noise is something else especially if it came on suddenly. If you had centrifugal brakes I'd say look there, but that's not the case here. There's really no way to diagnose without seeing the reel. No need to replace the reel. If you'd like to send it in include your screen name and I'll apply a 10% BassResource.com members discount, bringing the cost of service down $19.80. Let me know if you have any questions.

I found out how to take the plate off, so i did that and took the spool out and lubed up the bearing, as well as the brake and the worm gear while i was at it. I haven't been on the water yet to see if the problem is relieved. In the meantime i pulled the trigger on a new reel, the bps tourney special. Thanks for the offer DVT, but I want to learn how to work on these reels myself, however you are close so if i have a major problem i could ship it down to you.
