Needing to know if anyone has any experience tearing it down. I've had one for a while, and recently took it apart to clean it. It doesn't quite feel right though once I put it all back together. Yes I know it's a cheap reel, but I would like to get a little more use out of it before it takes a dump on me. If I was to up load pictures tonight of me rebuilding it, could one of you guys point out where/if I did something wrong?

Ive taken apart and cleaned quite a few of these reels bud Ill see if I can help you out. Absolute best thing to do though is to get on ABU's website and print you out a schematic of the reel and make sure everything is where its supposed to be and in the order its supposed to be in.

That's exactly what I did! Got it put back together and it worked fantastic this weekend at Lake Fork. Handled crankbaits like a boss.

Good deal man glad you got it figured out! They are good reels for the money and parts are easy to find for them. Ive got a buddy that puts his through hell lol.
