Good link.... Went a bit stir crazy recently with all the snow and Ice (Co Meath).... Have now fully serviced about 20 reels... Some of the coarse fishing reels got a bit of shock as they have never seen oil :shock:

New bearings just arrived today for my old flame... Abu Sueveran 4000M spinning reel... Got a little nostalgia while I was servicing.... Done a full strip, clean and re-build and although she was smooth, she was very noisy, evening after removing the shields on the bearings, cleaning and packing with greese.... so I ordered up a new set and hopefully it will be smooth and ultra quite after tonight. :mrgreen:
