Heddon Mark IV Auto Fly Reel Repair

[Midway Tommy D]

I need to take apart a Heddon Mark IV Model 11 Automatic Fly Reel to repair it. The line won't pull out without actually using your finger to push sideways on the spool while turning it and the rewind spring won't continually engage. The manual tightener will turn but the lever/button won't release the spring, when depressed, to reel line in.

Anyway, never taken an automatic apart before so I was wondering if there are any suggestions or tips I should know before I start pulling it apart so it doesn't end up like a Jack-in-the-Box with parts bouncing off the walls and ceiling and then into the carpet, which I most likely will never find or figure out how they're supposed to go back together correctly.
