Croix jerkbait model casting rod typically of 6ft 8 medium extra-fast length and action

Ok, I decided to pull a couple of additional parts from rthis tank These parts are really covered with thick grease, I soak them in Simple Green, but I only use a cup full, I do not want to contaminate the 5 gallon bucket A little squirt with paslode and cleaned with a rag the bail wire comes out with very little effort, as the 200 did this ss line roller also has the brass insert a 9/32 will fit nice and snug on the spool shaft nut and it pulled right out the spool shaft is really beefy on this reel I was surprised to see 3 small screws holding this big rotor, but it is working just fine there is some type of fiber washer at the base of the rotor, I think its there as a gasket the pinion wasn't coming out easely, so I reinstalled one of the screws and gently pried it off with a flathead screwdriver and out it came the 2 screws holding the bearing and the 3 holding the rotor are of the same size, so no worries if you get them mixed up here is an idea on how large that bearing is, compared to a quarter now I'm trying to figure out how to remove that bearing did anyone ever get it out

These gears are not cast, and are instead machined from solid brass blocks for very tight tolerances
We were just kids, fishing in the 1970s
You gotta love it when a plan comes together
