Sand in Reel
I got it all taken apart. What's the best way to wash the sand away?

I had an incident a couple months ago, two Shimanos, I took one apart and the sand was so fine, I washed it with wd 40 relubed and still couldn't
get it to free spool, and not feel like a grinder, I sent them in, I got them back and one blew up in a DP tourney, sent it back and a few weeks later had a new reel, the reel I blew up had alot of time and fishies on it, might be worth it IMO... |

Shimano Cardiff 400A. This thing has so many moving parts, glad I saved the reel diagram or I'd never be able to put it back together.

George do you live in the I.E.? If so, try Kenny's Rod & Reel in Upland. He runs a great shop. If he can't fix it he will let you know and give you your best options.

If you take it to Shimano in Irvine they will fix it or replace it for $25. Their customer service is second to none!

Hey George, quit playing in the sand with it, it ain't a shovel!

If you use the above method, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, be EXTREMELY careful using these chemicals and it's not necessary to mix a big batch of the cleansing solution (8oz. should be enough). Re-build dry (just to see if all parts work) if ok, thoroughly re-grease all gears and oil all bearings. (make sure to grease dog gears.) Don't forget to oil handle spindles and bail rollers. If the schematic for the reel looks too daunting, send it out to shimano and let them do it. Have heard nothing but good things about their service over the years (also fast turn around). Hope this helps. FFY |
