Many thanks for your help, I would never have got this apart without your help. Now I just need to find a new bearing as that seems to be the problem. If you are ever in Cape Town hook up and I will buy you a beer.
Great video! Question- I have a BG3000 for 3 years now. Love it! Recently I dropped it in the lake, submerged for maybe 15 minutes! (100% truth- A hybrid striped bass pulled the entire rod/reel in! 🤦♂️🤦♂️). I got in back and when I got home opened up wiped it down and oiled many parts. I did NOT all of it as you did. Just removed the top part. So today I landed a big catfish and as soon as I grabbed the handle to turn, I felt a “slip” Then when I proceed to turn the handle.. the bail did NOT turn/spin but the reel moved up and down. I had to manually turn it to retrieve the line. Now I’m home, turning the handle the reel does spin, but very rough.. at points very smooth normal turns.. then some very rough or resistance. What could be the issue?
Im afraid its not good news. The main gear must have broken from the main gear shaft. Its common problem for all BG reels size 4000 and below. You will need a new main gear.
👍Thx
No prob mate
