Anyone know how to disassemble a BPS   EEX10HLA reel?  I can't get the side plates off it to service it.  Bought it used, so I don't have any paperwork with it.

Any help appreciated.

This sounds like a job for Cart7 , you should sjhoot him a PM

I believe that comes apart like any other Extreme.

Remove the palm plate, remove the spool. Remove the hidden screw on the crank side inner frame that's under the spool. Remove the handle and drag assemblies. Remove the 2 remaining screws on the outside of the crank side cover and slowly remove cover. Immediately take the 2 springs off the pinion holder and set them aside. They're not held down and will shoot off into space if you're not careful.

As always, mark your pieces as they came off so you can reassemble correctly. BPS will gladly send you a reel schematic if you give their reel repair place a call.

Thanks Cart7

It was so simple I just could't see it.  When pushing the button, I was trying to pull the side off instead of giviing it a little twist.

Got it, works good now.

Thanks
