Daiwa Reel Issue

[goldrod]

The spool bearing is somehow stuck inside the reel frame.
It takes me taking the reel off the rod to remove the spool from the reel.
I think that the bearing housing needs to be shaved but I’m not sure how to do that. It’s starting to frustrate me because I have an identical reel that I can put the spool in without problems. Any suggestions would be great

Just grease the outside of the bearing. The bearing is supposed to be snug.

That's the problem with factory reels. They come dry, so water gets in and the unsuspecting user goes on for a time happy with life with corrosion going away at its business between two dissimilar metal surfaces.

Always best to have a light coat of lanolin / oil or light grease between mating surfaces of any sort.

Thanks all
I’ll do just that
