Hey These reels are clean and make no noise, so Idecided not to send them out for lube. I know to put grease on the gears and oil on the level wind. When I opened the reel I can see 2 nylon gears, is that where the grease goes and how much? Also where do i put oil, other than on the level wind? I know these are basic questions, this was my first year with baitcasting after years of using just spinning reels. Thanks

Have you tried a deep frier?

No but I did try the Popels Steamer

I was just going to say fill a deep fryer with salad oil and dip.......

Muddy,

When I opened the reel I can see 2 nylon gears, is that where the grease goes and how much?

Nope the only greased gears are the brass main drive and the pinion gear. All other moving (rotating) parts (i e bearings) get one drop of oil, AFTER they have been cleaned..

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!!

Thanks Dave, what do I do with the extra parts?

That's what I was thinking.

I think I can do the "takin' apart", it's the "putin' back together" that seems to be the problem!

Place them in a baggie, and send them to Outdoor World Rod & Reel Repair. Then add a note pleading insanity, and asking for mercy from them.....

Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!!!  

This might be obvious... but I lay everything out in a line as I take it apart, this way I know which order to put it all back.

I took apart 4 Abu's and a Cabelas a few month ago... if I hadn't done that I would have been hosed!
