Reel cleaner........

Featured Replies

I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I can hardly remember the last time I actually tore apart and cleaned the gear  :-/ .  I've seen some posts that recommend soaking the bearings in Ronsonol, but is there anything else that isn't quite so fumy?  I'd also like to clean out the pawl and worm drive.  Any suggestions there, like a spray?  I already bought the Hot Sauce Grease and Oil.

I've used the spray "brake cleaner" successfully. Don't know if it's any less "fumy", but I am pretty sure it's just a flammable as Ronsonol. I believe some folks also use Simple Green 50/50 with warm water to degrease. This would be a much more fragrent and less dangerous option for sure. Good luck!
