Well,
I don't know how far you took them down,, but, I'd check the tension cap under the star drag and make sure it's properly set.

If you disassembled the right side completely, then maybe check the main and pinion gear for a piece of dirt or trash ,,
double check the pinion gear carrier,, that it's correct.

Clicker assembly, complete and correct...

Brake system,,,,,

just shooting in the dark,, here,

 

You might also want to check your worm gear and pawl.

 

i only took the 3 screws on the left out and the 3 on the right


thanks for the help

this is only my 3rd year of cleaning and oiling them...but i havent had any issue in the past

you came to the right place for help. if snagged doesn't know how to fix it, you might as well through it away.

Appreciate the Nice comments,,However, there's a lot of folks around that know about the reels,,

I basically just hit them with a hammer or squeeze them in the vice till they act better!!:Happy:

 

booosh,if you want to pm me your # i live pretty close to ya and should be able to give you a hand with the reel. i second that snagged2 knows what he is doing with abus! hes helped me learn a great deal about them.

ok so after messing with this thing a few times i have another question

i do not know technical terms so bare with me

i am asking if the center gold piece that holds the metal bar that is threw the spool is that gold piece suppose to be able to move somewhat freely


it would be the center part on the side with the reel

 

yes nick the rod or axle should spin freely in the bushing. put a lil oil on it and see if that helps i always convert mine to the 4x10x10 bearings you can find then on ebay pretty cheap and it,s the only side that needs converted . it,ll cast better and reel in better after that also the bearings are usually under 5 bucks not counting shipping. hope this helps

ok thanks alot

still having the vibration problem i feel like its coming from that piece or the larger gear the spins it when you reel the handle

 

It kinda sounds like the main gear and pinion might be damaged,, hammered.. that can happen if the reel is subjected to a Hard pull, like trying violently to unsnag a hook,etc

you can exchange them from one reel to another as a test to determine if it's those pieces.. and if you find that's the case.. then replace both pieces..

the larger brass gear is the main gear, the smaller is called the pinion.
