16)    Remove the anti reverse ratchet and assist stopper pawl. Pay attention to the position of the ratchet. It can be installed upside down later. This will cause the clutch to not reengage. This is also a good time to inspect the assist stopper. If excessive wear can be seen then there is a good chance the anti reverse bearing has failed. [Figures 9 & 10]

17)    Using an old tooth brush clean all excess grease from the teeth of the main and pinion gears.
18)    Remove some cotton from the end of a Q-tip and clean the center of the pinion gear. This is where the spool shaft goes through the gear. Oil and dirt can slow the free spool of your reel. [Figure 11]


19)    Carefully remove all the grease from the drag washers and drag plates. Be careful as the Dartanium drag washers are very fragile. Do not bend them while cleaning them!
20)    Using a old toothbrush and some simple green to scrub the frame. Make sure to clean as much as you possibly can. After scrubbing rinse the reel in some fresh water and towel dry.
21)    Using some Q-tips and rubbing alcohol clean the spool raceway, level wind gear and line guide.
22)    Clean the spool shaft and spool lips with Q-tips and rubbing alcohol. This will remove any excess grease, dirt or oil which will hinder the free spool performance.
23)    Apply one drop of Shimano oil to the spool shaft bushing
24)    Using the A-Draggr grease apply to ½ of the teeth on the main gear. There is no need to lubricate the pinion gear. It will be lubricated from the main gear
25)    Reposition the drag click pin holder (BNT2697) on the handle shaft. It is keyed to fit flush on the handle shaft. [Figure 12]


26)    Reposition the anti reverse ratchet and assist stopper pawl on the handle shaft. There is a small hole to allow the drag click pin to go through it. Make sure the ratchet is on correctly and not upside down. [Figure 13]


27)    Apply a light film of grease to the back side of the main gear. This will hold the drag washer “A” and drag click plate to the main gear and ease reassembly. There is a small tab that will line up to a hole on the main gear. [Figure 14]


28)    Using the A-Draggr grease apply a small amount between your index finger and thumb. Apply grease sparingly to the drag washers on both sides. A slight shine should be seen after grease is applied. Do not over lubricate the washers as you will lose drag pressure. Grease is not required on the drag plates.
29)    Install all drag washers and drag plates in correct order. Make sure the keyed washer is installed correctly. The tabs face down and align in two slots on the main gear. [Figures 15 & 16]




30)    Install the pinion gear and yoke assembly into the reel. See the images for correct positioning of the gear into the yoke assembly [Figures 17 & 18]




31)    Install the roller clutch inner tube onto the top drag plate. This has two small tabs that will align into slots on the top drag plate. [Figures 19 & 20]




32)    Install the two small yoke springs onto the posts. [Figure 21]


33)    Remove the clicker lever for reassembly of the side plate.
