That would be great Doug

I am in no real hurry since I do have back up reels.

Glen does great work. I highly reccommend him.

Thanks to all who referred the local to do the maintenance. I just got off the phone with Shimano, and they are going to ship out my upgrade kits to me. If I can't do the work myself, I will take them to Glenn.

Looks like you've been a victim of the Trinidad Surprise. If you will do the work yourself, check out this link for dealing with the flying spring-loaded pin.

Fortunately, the spring popped out and hit me in the chest. I saw where it went and was able to retrieve it. I got one of those Reel Maintenance DVDs from Inside Sportfishing at the Fred Hall Show. I wish I had seen that before I took mine apart. The DVD has one of the Shimano techs demonstrating how they service various reels. There are some good tips on the DVD.

Was it a DVD that you purchased or was it a giveaway? I would be very interested in
getting my hands on one.
