Penn 320 GTI

[Mstrchf1]

I tried to take apart my 320 to clean and check out drag washers. I dropped the reel on the table during disassembly and it came apart. I have tried to put it back together with no luck. Does anyone know anyone that can put my reel back together and clean and change out the drag washers for a reasonable price. This a 20 year old reel and it has been used a lot, it has never given me any problems. Thanks Terry

There is a reel easy stand you can make to stop this from happening.  We made them with the cub scout den I had.  Will try to post pictures tommarrow.

I posted pictures of the reel stand.   With the reel in the stand , it frees up both hands .  And you can use gravity to help hold things in place while you service your reel

Follow the link to alan tani.  He has a fabulous section on the 320's.  Even I was able to completely dissaemble all of mine by following his pix & explanations.  It's actually quite easy.

I 2nd Tom's advice.  Last week I completely disasembled all my sealine 27Hs and 47Hs, cleaned, lubed, and rebuilt the drags, from stuff I learned from Alan Tani's website.  It's on my favorites list now.
