#2969, "Reel Cleaning"


  

          

I have Shimano Curados that need to be cleaned and oiled. Should I try this myself? I have no idea how to and would rather have someone that knows how to do it. Does anyone know anyone that cleans them?
Thanks

do it yourself, its well worth it.
knowledge is power:

use this pictorial as a guide to help you disassemble and re-assemble the reel.

might seem complicated at first, but after you've done 1 or 2 reels you'll see how easy it really is...

I think its $20 but they come back better than new in performance. They are easy to do but they have all the parts and can get them to freespool better and just flat out perform better.
