Can someone explain how disassembly works on these things? I have a couple but have yet to clean and lube either because I can't figure out how to get them apart.

Ok I figured it out. This is like something designed by aliens or a committee on benzedrine. That braking system is awesome though.

Like a reel within a reel, I get the two sideplates off and there's layers of gizmos attached to two more sideplates covering additional layers of gizmos.

All that being said, the two examples I own are smooth and silk and cast like a dream.
