this rebuild post is for the last of 3 series graphite penn star drag reels. here is a link to the schematics ....

and here is our reel, beaten and down, but not out by any means!
we will start by removing the four right side side plate screws (key #32).
the reel breaks down cleanly to the frame assembly (key #183), the spool assembly (key #29L), and the right side plate assembly (key #1). to service (lube) the bearings in the future, you need only go as far as this step.
the left spool bearing (key #40) is hidden underneath the spool gear (key #66), which is in turn held in by a lock spring (key #67). replacing the bearing requires removal of the lock spring. we'll just lube the bearing for now.
lube the worm (key #42) level wind assembly.
install the spool assembly (key #29L) back into the frame assembly (key #183) and set both aside.
now, to service the right side plate. we will start with the handle lock screw (key #23A).
remove the handle assembly screw (key #23).
remove the handle assembly (key #24). note that an $18 jigmaster power handle (part #24-56) would fit very nicely right here.
remove the tension spring (key #8) and star drag (key #10).
now, push the eccentric lever (key #21) to the forward position and back out but do not remove the four bridge screws (key #'s 16 and 17).
the bridge assembly (key #3) will drop out cleanly. leave the right side plate (key #1) in the "up" position so that the bridge screws (key #'s 16 and 17) do not fall out.
here is an exploded view of the bridge assembly. from top to bottom are the bridge (key #3), the fiber washer (key #4, the main gear (key #5), the five ht-100 drag washers (key #6), the metal drag washers (key #7) and the spacing sleeve (key #9) to the far right.
we will substitute an ht-100 #6-113 drag washer in place of the fiber washer (key #4). note that this is the smaller #6-113, not the larger #6-113h.
slap a thick coat of cal's drag grease on all of the ht-100 drag washers. don't worry about the excess, it will just squeeze out the sides.
rebuild the drag stack.
place your left index and middle fingers over the bridge screws (key #'s 16 and 17) to hold them in place.
now flip over the right side plate (key #1) and install the pinion gear (key #13) if it had fallen out earlier.
the procedure for installing the dog is a little different. install the bridge assembly (key #3) at 180 degrees to its final position. if you used a little excess drag grease on the drag washers, the stack of drags will stay in place and not fall out at this point.
lay the dog (key #15) down over the bridge screw (key #16).
