The saga continues!
Nothing to loose now, the orignal has ceased, the new model has gone back (got a refund). And the living hell of internet shopping taking it's time to answer questions! Certainly won't be using the internet shop I bought it from again.......
Strip & service of the original Trio. On this service I am not taking apart the bail arm assembly or front drag.
Try and make sure you have evrything at hand.
Plenty of kitchen roll (or alike), lighter fluid, reel oil, grease, & tools. This will depend on the reel you are working on.
Remove the spool.
Remove the washers from under the spool, remember the sequence and place them down on some paper in the position they need to go back on in.
Undo the screw in the picture.
Undo the rotor nut in the picture.
Remove the rotor.
Undo & remove the handle.
Remove the 3 screws that hold down the bearing plate.
Remove the 2 washers.
Take the spring off, be careful for it not to fly off.
Remove the side plate casing, 1 screw & 3 alum key screws.
Remove the drive gear & bearings.
The transmission gear has a red arrow on it. This will need to be linned up to the drive gear when putting back together.
Remove the oscillation slider plate.
Remove main shaft, bearings, washers & rotor nut.
Remove the transmission gear.
Remove the ball bearing plate.
Remove ball bearings, be aware that now the cover holding the ball beariings in can now fall off and the bearings fall out.
Make sure you lay the parts out logically as you took them off. This will allow you to put everything back together with alot more ease.
Flush out bearings with lighter fuel. I use small plastic lids for this, means you don't waste alot of fluid!
Everything separated and being cleaned.
Drying out.
Going back together.
Drive gear cleaning.
Flush out bearings, and allow to dry.
Clean main shaft and bearings as in above pictures.
Rust in the housing, needs to be cleaned out.
Start putting back together.
Transmission gear first.
Make sure the red dots on the transmission gear & drive gear line up.
Slot the slider over the raised 'knob' on the transmission gear.
Screw back the oscillating slider plate.
Start putting the main shaft, bearings, washers & rotor nut back in place.
Screw down the pinionbearing fixed plate.
Don't forget to clip the spring back in.
Oil & grease.
Grease on the main shaft where pointed & gears.
Oil the bearings, not to much!
Screw the side plate casing on.
Washers back down.
Rotor back on.
Lock the rotor nut back in place.
Tighten down the screw.
Washers back on.
Spool back on.
Reel back together.
No problems with doing the above. Just take your time and work logically.

Very good information for you, this should be done at least once a year.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Absolutely brilliant blog post - I don't have this reel but this sort of thing will be gold dust to other anglers who do.
ReplyDeleteNow, if you'd bought one of those Italia ones - you wouldn't even be allowed to look inside it without voiding the warranty!!
I must admit, please don't go taking apart any reel that will make your warranty invalid!
ReplyDeleteI only did this because the warranty had run out & the reel was ceased.
BUT, it wasn't a problem to do, just work through methodically.
I have done this with my multi's, so I had to have a go with the f/s.......
Most probably looking at one of the Daiwa reels next, the Okuma will be my spare or for when I have friends visiting to fish.
any chance you could do a shimano baitrunner???
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Shimano have got there own service centre. http://www.shimanofelindre.co.uk/index.php?page=felindre-service
ReplyDeleteCan't see any problems if you have the diagramatics to do it yourself, have a go?
BUT, as before, if in warranty send back.....
hi, I've bought the trio 40, as a backup. After stripping this reel. What's the reason for the reel to cease ? All the parts seems intact ? Is it the bearings and one way housing rusted ?
ReplyDeleteI don't see you replacing anything ?
Hello Richard!
ReplyDeleteI've read the entire post and i must admit, i've never noticed the red dot on the transmission gear! Great post, very useful!
One more thing, i would like to ask permission to translate to portuguese and use the images(amazing details i must say) from this post and place it on my blog(with the obvious reference and link to here)
Cheers!

No new components, not worth it on a reel of this price. Just a clean up, new oil & grease. The gearing did have salt crystals on and the grease had gone hard. This was the 2nd time I opened this reel up. The pictures above were on the 2nd time hense why it's much cleaner. The bearings had rust on them.
