Walk of Shame....
Walk of Shame....
I took apart a Meisselbach Take-A-Part 581 to clean. I thought I had put it back together, but now the reel spins in only one direction?!?!?! I have disassembled and assembled numerous, ok multiple dozens of times with the same result, yes the definition of insanity, I know, anyways, I have tested it against other Take-A-Parts and they turn freely in either direction. It's not a complicated reel, all the parts are there as I did not remove anything, just cleaned out old reel grease. Is there a trick I am not seeing??? I will continue down the green carpet on my walk of shame.

Re: Walk of Shame....
Do you have the spring on the pinion mechanism hooked on the small post in the front of the reel? On that mechanism, are the two small pieces easily movable? They don't like to have grease on them either.
Re: Walk of Shame....
I will check that, thank you.
