hi lads , im in the middle of servicing my reels and have hit a glitch !! i have mitchell pro fixed spool half disasembled and as some of you would know this reel is built totally differant to any other fixed spool reel around !! the bottom half of the reel is waterproof (coated in rubber )
if anyone has any knoledge on how to into the gears and bearings beyond the rubber it would be greatly appreciated as there is no visible point entry !! cheers , BOYCIE.

theres probably a reason that your not supposed to open it, i cant imagine it being so difficult to do if whats inside is serviceable by joe soap
