What size drill bit did you use to drill out the worm gear cover?

[@mikelivingston5772]

No lube?

[@cheezuscrust7730]

Is that a pro rocket black edition that you took the paint off and polished to get it chrome looking?

[@PimpMyReel]

The clue is in the title!

Would one of these "pimped out" levelwinds be available for my 7500 big game reel?
Thanks

I do have PMR Bespoke Custom® speed bearing levelwind for Abu 7000/7500. Please contact me at; [e-mail]

Can you just take the levelwind off and leave it off or is this an integral component? Id like to get one of these reels without a levelwind. Thanks!

Justin Mugno This video was made for people who want to change the standard levelwind for a bearing version. If you want the reel and don't want a levelwind; by a chrome rocket 6500 CT

[@harryg8901]

PimpMyReel but can it be done? I'm not in the market to buy right now

Without bearings on both ends that is useless.

[@PimpMyReel]

That statement shows ignorance of the parts in question. A standard levelwind comes without bearings but still does the job. An Abu C4 or C5 OR a PMR Speed bearing levelwind comes with one bearing . The Abu's with a standard bearing and the PMR version with an Abec 5 stainless steel bearing! The duel bearing levelwinds tend to be standard bearings, cost stupid money and after 6 months of salt water fishing both bearings need to be changed. BUT; the bearing by the brass cog cannot be replaced because of how they are converted SO you end up having to buy a new levelwind worm gear with duel bearings if you can find one. Or spend stupid money on a duel bearing replacement levelwind. Moral of this post, buy a levelwind with a single bearing so you can replace it when needed and put brain in gear before engaging fingers to type!!!
