Shimano
The guy that I spoke to on the phone told me that a different crew takes care of the walk in's, so the return time would be 10 days if I were to drop them off at the factory. I would do them myself but while I was taking one of the reels apart last night, the clicker pin shot out and is somewhere in my apartment My question is, does anyone plan to have thier reels serviced by shimano, and if you plan to drop them off, would you mind taking my reels in for me. If I end up driving up there myself, I would drop your reels for you. Another scenerio would be for one of us to drop off, and one to pick up. The main reason I prefer to send them to Shimano is that the upgrade would be free. Mark |

I might be willing to head up there to get some of my TLDs serviced. It would be early next week before I could get there. Send me a PM on Thursday or Friday and I'll let you know if I can work it out.

Thanks to all who referred the local to do the maintenance. I just got off the phone with Shimano, and they are going to ship out my upgrade kits to me. If I can't do the work myself, I will take them to Glenn.

Looks like you've been a victim of the Trinidad Surprise. If you will do the work yourself, check out this link for dealing with the flying spring-loaded pin.

Fortunately, the spring popped out and hit me in the chest. I saw where it went and was able to retrieve it. I got one of those Reel Maintenance DVDs from Inside Sportfishing at the Fred Hall Show. I wish I had seen that before I took mine apart. The DVD has one of the Shimano techs demonstrating how they service various reels. There are some good tips on the DVD.

Inside Sportfishing Reel Maintenance DVD
It is a pretty thorough demonstration of how to perform basic disassembly, cleaning and assembly of several types of Shimano reels. It is a lot easier to figure out than those exploded parts views that come with the reel.

For some instructions on how to service reels look up Alan Tani. He provides step by step instructions complete with pics for servicing many different kinds of reels. His posts can be found on BD and elsewhere.
