Thanks for that. I've taken the spool off and lubricated before but hadn't attempted the star drag and crank bearing. I've got one that is waiting for maintenance, resistance when cranking with the drag tightened down. Feels like the rusted bearing shown in the photos.

Glad it was helpful.

Very cool, I've been wanting to learn how to do my reels correctly. That'll save me a few $$$ for more :cheers1:
