Is it possible to remove the anti reverse/roller bearing out of one of these to clean it? I tried to push it out but it is not moving and on the inside of the cover around it there is a ring that I think is locking it in but I don't know how to get it out without possibly damaging it.

I have one! big peice of Japanese junk, would say no. ....

It isn't a seperate part it is pressed in, and the listed part # on the schematic is a side plate....

Yea it for sure is not anything to write home about as far as reels go but I got a BNIB for $10. I mean for that price how could I not buy it. I took it apart as soon as I got it and cleaned it all out. There was soooooo much of this blue grease inside the thing it was silly. Now it is a absolute casting machine but it is really loud on when it casts and I think its cause of the brakes. They are weird to me being these little plastic things you need to pop out and then snap in these these little sides to turn them off. Also having to take out 3 screws and separate the 2 plates to even get at them is annoying The anti reverse though is still all slow even after I tried to clean the crap out of it and spraying it down with brake cleaner a bunch of times I just cant get it to spin freely. It has those little tiny rollers and I think that makes its a bit harder for the grit to find its way out.

 

I will say though working on round reels is a real pain if its not totally perfect and you have to open it back up to make some little adjustment. For some strange reason and even though i know better when working on that reel I could't resist clicking the thumb bar when the side plate was off. I seriously did it like 4 or 5 times and probably spent a hour or more on my hand and knees with a flashlight looking through light grey carpet to find the springs. One of the time I was about to just say screw it because I couldn't find the one. The I thought you know what let me check something and looked inside a pair of shoes that was on the floor and it was inside one of them
