In my latest attempt to teach myself to clean reels, I am having trouble with one part of my Cardiff after I cleaned it and disassembled it. The part is 3592, aka IDLE GEAR B, on the left hand side of the reel (it's a right handed reel). How do I put this part properly back into the reel? There are several screws and then the IDLE GEAR B SHAFT, part 2653, and this goes through the center of the round gear. I see that IDLE GEAR A is on the left hand side of the spool as well.

    Okay found out where to screw the shaft into idle gear B. Will keep posted on this adventure.

    Figured the whole thing out. Working like a charm. Dang those round reels are a tough one to totally disassemble and clean on your first attempt.
