Yo great video as always. Looked like fun catching the snapper blues. Yo you crack me up boohoo the blue fish got my fish lab lure. Sounds like me. But I love to hook up with blues. There bad ass. Keep up the good work
It’s a simple process. I’ll make a video when I service it this fall but it’s pretty easy. Drag stack comes out and put it back the same order. Same with the 2 OSPR3 drag seals
@@xlandscaper Look forward to that thanks. Do you know if anyone has replaced the drag washers with carbontex greased washers to try and improve the drag ? BTW how did you get on witth filling gear box with oil. i like that idea as basically that is what it is, a gear box sealed with standard oil seals, if oil leaks out you know something is wrong or needs changing.
@@ShorrockPaul I’m not sure about replacing the drag washers but I’ve never heard any issues with the factory drag stack in the 200’s. I use a very light coating of grease on the carbon washers and my drag is always silky smooth. And all the older vs reels used straight gear oil. I’ve been using royal purple and superlube combo for a few seasons and the reel has been butter smooth, doesn’t stiffen up in the cold and yes if you see a sheen of oil in the water you know ur leaking and it time for a Service.
Thank you for watching! Not at all. VS factory service actually recommends coating it. Reel is butter smooth even in cold weather and hasn’t missed a beat.
Hi, thank you nice video. unfortunately I have mounted the left side cover incorrectly in the final phase of reassembly and it's all stuck, I can no longer open it, I even bent a key, nothing, all stuck, do you have any advice to overcome this nightmare? I am in complete despair Regards Caesar
Man that’s unfortunate. They only way to get the side plate off is to cut it off. Take a hacksaw blade or dremel cut off wheel and slowly cut through the side cover being careful not to cut into the shaft. Once that’s fully cut off you can unscrew it bc the part you cut off has the anti reverse bearing. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart but it can be done. If you aren’t comfortable definitely send it in. Also google search it, there’s a few forums that explain it with pictures. Good luck man.
That’s exactly what I warned about. It happens… Only way is to carefully cut the cap off with a hack saw or dremel near the body and slide off the “cut” pice that covers the anti reverse bearing then unscrew with Chanel locks. The anti reverse bearings is preventing it from removal. At this point if you don’t feel comfortable a VS service shop will be the best bet.
Dam that sucks. Remove the rotor and you are going to have to cut the handle side cover where you screw the handle on with a hack saw or dremel and be careful not to cut into the shaft, otherwise you’ll be getting a new main gear/shaft too. Once you get it all cut around the aluminum you can take a pair of vice grips and twist it off. Sounds complicated but it’s not that bad from what I’ve seen. Otherwise saltwaters will take care of you. Good luck and let us know how you make out

Thank you so much for this video!! What is the name of that second tool you used to remove the pinion gear?

Great video , what's your turnaround on doing my reel?...lol
Great video!
Have you had any problems with the oil getting into the AR clutch causing it to slip?

How would you take the side cover offf if you have an American smooth cover
I have never taken a smooth one off but I think they use a small strap wrench so it doesn’t mark the cover
Thanks! How would you recommend fixing the handle to spool orientation?when the handle is down the spores in the highest position?
The camera is not pointing at your working area at times. Difficult to understand what is going on. Nevertheless, helpful video. Thanks.
sorry, I'm not a professional TH-cam but at least you kinda understood what to do. hopefully it helps out. thanks
We’re can I purchase that tool ?
The Guys name is Paul. Retired machinist. Excellent tool
