What reel do you have?

I have Quantum Catalyst PTI 30 Series Spinning & Energy E600ti Casting, The 2- E600ti's need new side plate magnets, they are rusted & falling apart, I did buy some New Reels also Shimano Stadics CI4+ & Lews Speed Spool BB1, these are all brand new

 

 

These are the best I have ever seen on the net.

Unless the video is of the exact same model they should be viewed as a rough guide, which is fine as long as you keep that in mind. NEVER open a reel without a schematic in front of you. The Shimano vids are ok as an interim service but by no means replace a frame off deep cleaning. Spinning reels can be tricky and vary more model to model. I'd keep DIY to cleaning and oiling visible parts. FWIW I offer members here a 10% discount which makes the cost of service <$20.

If you are over the age of 21 there is a video available. The name of it is  "Debbie does Shimano"     good luck.

I did not post those thinking it was the same reel. I had watched a few other videos before like the shimano ones. The videos I linked the guy gets into detail with it.

Even if you do have the schematic in front of you, there may be some awfully tiny springs and clips in there that are prone to flying off into oblivion when you try to remove them, never to be found again.  If you don't have someone experienced to work with you, it can turn into a hassle real quick.  If you really want to break it down completely yourself, I suggest removing e-clips and other small, springy parts within the close confines of a large clear plastic bag.  Better than nosing around like a hound on the basement floor... how do I know this...?
