Lews BB-1NG repair

Post by jaybo82 »

I apologize if this is a repeat post. I am not sure the first try succeeded.

I have a Lews BB-1NG reel that I took apart for cleaning and lubrication. I was very careful, but apparently not careful enough.

All the parts are there but I probably put the washers back in the wrong order; the cranking is really rough.

If you would recommend a person or business who services a Lews BB-1NG Iwould appreciate it very much.

Thanks in advance.

Check YouTube. There are service and adjustment videos for numerous Lew's reels there. Maybe you can find one that matches your reel that will help you correct your issue.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
