Reel Repair Question - 06/18/18 08:54 PM

I've got a Shimano Symetre 4000 RJ (Rear drag model) with some sentimental value that I need to repair, but I cannot figure out how to disassemble the rear drag to move the discs to the new reel body. Any reel mechanics out there have any experience with these things that might be able to offer some advice besides chucking it in the garbage?

Ditto. He has done 2 Symetre 4000 for me as well as a few other reels.

Found the rear drag is reverse threaded after a while - finally got it apart and put back together on the new frame.
