How easy are these line rollers to strip down, clean and re lubricate ? Got one that moves but sticks ever so slightly. Other 2 are completely free.
Can't get parts anymore so looking to try and sort it.

Fro memory they are pretty easy to access, I can't remember which set of reels i done it on, but there was a small plastic bush thingy in there, i measured with some calipers and purchased some stainless roller bearing and fitted them, much better than the plastic and it was less than a tenner for 3 reels.
I think you just undo a screw and it all comes apart

Dead easy.
When you remove the screw just take a few pictures so you can check which way to reassemble.
The plastic bush is very hard and acts like a bearing. Clean all around it, use a wooden cocktail stick to get into the corners. A spot of light oil (3 in 1) on the bush before you slide the metal line roller back over it and it's done. Be sure to position the dust cover (thin plastic washer) on the correct side.

Cheers lads all done. Was easy as stated.
No dust washer on these by the looks. Got the parts diagram and that don't show one either. Stripped an old emblem spod reel after that to have a look and that's a bearing not a plastic bush.
That has the washer mentioned.
