on how to disassemble the whole reel including the DC system. im new to this base of reel (core 100mg and chronarch D), not sure which screws to remove to open up frame and side plate . also do i need to remove the DC system and retainer holding it to get the spool bearing out? thanks!

this is my very first DC reel. i was wondering if theres any video or photo tutorial out there for this reel.

I had mine spooled with 70lb samurai braid and only got about 90yd. I just switched out to 55lb samuraid braid and got about 120yd. I too wish this reel had more line cap, but still a great reel.

Hi, is there any tools I can purchase at a local shops like sears that I can use to remove spool pin without much motification? I just go into tuning my own reels and got a set of boca bearings I would like to install. Thanks!
