You gave some good information, but some not so good information as well. I’ll be the bad guy that points out a few things.

I've watched many reel maintenance videos. This is the first one that really clicked in my head. Alot easier to assemble the reel when you understand what each part does. Also eased my fears opening my first daiwa. Probably the easiest disassemble of any reel I've done.

Thanks for doing this! Getting ready to clean and change the bearings on four Tatula’s.

Thanks for your time to this. This really helped me to get my reel up and running smoothly again

Thanks for doing this. I just started using baitcasters last season and put my tatula sv tw through the ringer last season and need to give it and my 3 other reels a cleaning but didn't know where to start

Thank you for posting this video. I used a new Daiwa reel for the first time yesterday (I typically use Abu Garcia and Shimano), and it was obvious it was not greased much from the factory based off the sound it made. This video is extremely helpful, as I do not like disassembly of reels. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Awesome job! Made it look easy. I’m a Shimano fan boy with about 10 Curado K’s. I’ll be looking forward to that video and start doing my own reels. Thanks for doing this video.

Great breakdown and helped me a lot. You have a bunch of great reel videos!!

Dude you saved me a whole lot of brain damage but my Daiwia back together. This reel I used a short period last season and always had some gear noise. So I tore her down and couldn’t get the drag to engage. Watch your video and so my mistake and back in business again . But the reel still has the noise , so I’ll up grade the bearings and see how that works out.🤔 Your explanation is spot on. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos thanks again.

Thanks for taking the time to show this PF... While it may not have been how the "pro's" do it, it was enough to keep the reel performing well until we can afford to to spend $50 per reel to have it done "properly". You'd be stunned how hard it is to find someone who cleans these reels "professionally". In the Orlando FL area, there's only one person (that I know of) who does this. Thanks again...

Greatest four words ever, it just looks cool,yes I agree thanks for the video.

Great video for close up taking the reel apart. Been looking at other people’s video of taking the reel apart and was just not confident after watching their video as they make it more complicated. Would love to see you do video on shimano reel too like the Metanium or Antares

Well versed and well instructed with good tips .

Can't wait for the shimano video. Looking forward to it.

I like using a zip tie or similar to keep parts in their proper order/position as I take them out of the reel

Thanks for the vid I need to take apart a first gen Tatula sv for maintenance.

I would love to see how you clean a Daiwa spinning reel! I have a few in need and the last time I tried I ended up totally lost.

Haha...wait until you mess with an OG Shimano Exsence DC 8.0:1...removing the tiny c-clip that holds on the tiny mechanism that creates the outgoing drag indent sound, is a hair pulling experience...not to mention the two larger tension springs around the toothed plastic wheel that the tiny metal mechanism clicks on. And just when you think you're in the clear, reassembly is even more difficult and tedious. Lol.

Where do I go to buy aftermarket bearings? And what are your recommendations? Why do you replace the factory ones?

Ok,
