You can tie your line to something (with rod and reel) and put some tension on the line as you simulate playing a fish, then you should be able to replicate the slipping anti reverse pawl.
Many have mentioned a stiffer spring...
Im not sure that the internal mechanism on the okumas works the same way, but i serviced some of my old daiwa emblems and any grease on the anti reverse gear made it sticky and it wouldnt slide back (every time) to where it needs to be.

I'm going to have a stab at taking the reel apart at some point and check what you mean about the grease build up. Hopefully, this may help the issue as they are a really good reel. Dodgy anti-reverse aside.

Also its hard to hear the clutch " clicker " when a fish takes line especially when its windy/raining and your deaf in one ear !

Easy enough to get to the one way bearing. On mine the spindle washers and clicker cog were tight, took a bit of working off the shaft.
Ideally you want a deep 12mm socket for the spindle nut, and it's a left hand thread.
