I took my Lews Speedspool Laser apart to give it a cleaning and some lube. I followed the bait caster cleaning video on here but ran into a slight problem.

The drag is sitting to close to the main body now and as I tighten the drag the reel becomes stiffer. Im almost positive this is an error i made somewhere in putting it back together.

I looked for a drawing of the parts online to double check the order of parts but couldnt find it.

Anyone can help I would much appreciate it.

Lews doesn't post their schematics but it should have come with one. You can look at a revo one and get real close. NEVER open a reel without a schematic handy and ALWAYS take free online videos with a grain of salt. Even if it's a good one, each model has a "gotcha" somewhere in there.  If you want to contact me offline I'll try to help you figure it out.

Call Lew's. They emailed me a schematic.

Lews Speedspool Laser: Is this a Laser300/300HS/300HSL ?

If so I have that schematic on my website I cannot post the url as this forum has all my replies censored, to my site. Check my web site or e-mail me tackle.repair@gmail.com...

 

Tight Lines!

I found a schematic of a really similare reel. It got me in the correct order. Had one spacer out of place that messed everything up. Feels better then new and already ripping bass out of the water.

   It will be a piece of cake from now on, you got good advice from DVT as long as you take heed and keep that schimatic handy,,,,BEFORE YOU START....
