Anti-Reverse Reassembly - Shimano Spinning Reel

So you took apart the anti-reverse mechanism on your Shimano reel, and now you can't figure out how to put it back together? Been there... here's how you get that little puzzle reassembled. Demonstration equipment is from a Sahara reel, but assembly is similar for the rest of the models as well.

damn i have been looking for 3 years who can fix my shimano reel, because of you i already fix it..your my savior thank you so much..salute

[@JerseyTom]

👍

[@Esther7986]

Thanks so much man. Pulled it apart drunk and had no clue how to put it back together

[@bobrepholz5116]

First guy that knows the best way to reassemble the anti reverse mechanism, brilliant Tom.

[@txproudproudamerican9474]

8 year later and your video is still helping. They have discontinued these on my Shimano Saros 3000fa so you saved my entire reel. Not sure how you figured it out but cheers to those who are smarter than the rest of us, and take time to make a video!!

[@thomascleetus3311]

I was much worried about my Sienna 4000FD fishing reel, Anti-Reverse system was not working at all, but your very detailed and specific workshop helped me to find out the exact problem. The sleeve inside the clutch was upside down. Your cooperation in this regard is highly appreciated.

[@AmirudinIdris-by1cj]

Thanks, bro...even though your video is from 10 years ago... it helped me save my ultegra reel

[@JerseyTom]

happy it helped!

[@thomascleetus3311]

Thanks so much for this video. I would have given up without your help. I do appreciate your effort.

[@anthonyargirakis2103]

I dropped my Stradic Ci4 reel into the creek. It wasn't as smooth as usual, so I took it apart, cleaned and lubed it up. When I put it back together the anit-reverse didn't work. I followed your instructions step by step and now it's good as new. Thank you very much.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Wow and thank you. I have had a "replacement" on back order now for weeks. I am going to follow your rebuild, which is easy to understand. Hopefully I can get my reel fishing again and cancel the replacement. Thank you for posting - Dennis

[@zhenc95]

Thank you Tom, got my anti reverse working properly now after a reel service.

[@chrislarosa140]

Hey, thanks for the hands on demo on doing this! Saved me $25 because I was a minute away from buying a whole new assembly because the breakdown only showed the whole part. Once I pulled it apart, springs went everywhere and I almost panicked. You walked me through it and saved my A$$! Thanks for taking the time to help us out.

[@adamcollins2192]

Probably the most useful and detailed maintenance video I've seen on youtube! Thank you! Literally cannot find this info. elsewhere let alone in such well framed and captured video. Make more videos!

[@kd3384]

Legend!
one more reel saved!
great video, thank you so much!

[@joseoctavioordonezcastillo1510]

Thank you so much, i was Following your instructions but didn't pay atention to the little twist at moment to put the top lid of the clutch...had to see your video again, did the little twist to the cap of the clutch and voila !! 👌👌👍👍

[@stuhebody]

Much appreciated you doing this. Really am... got me out of a tight spot on a fishing trip.

[@marsu2004]

Thank you so so so much Jersey! You saved my reel.
I was struggle putting my reel's parts together, and un-assemble it so many times and did not solve the anti reverse issue.
After watching your video, I was successfully fix it in 5 minutes.

[@bsales66]

Thanks so much for putting the time into this video. It demystified the rebuild on the anti-reverse clutches on my Shimano spinning reels. The question I have is how in the world did you figure out the first one? You must be a clever mechanic.

[@capalatriste]

Thank you, thanks, you have saved my old stradic reel, with more than twenty years of use. BEST regards

[@gary123hey]

Best 10:30 watch on UA-cam! You helped me fix my anti-reverse thus saving me about thirty bucks for a new shimano sienna. Thank you!

[@JerseyTom]

+gary romero Thanks very much! I'm glad that you were able to use it to fix your reel.

[@zachclawson7533]

Finally got my Stradic it fixed thanks to this video. thank you!

[@david_DS42]

Great job on making this video. I was doing some maintenance on a Biomaster 6000PG and couldn't figure out why the clutch roller wasn't working properly. I forget to load the springs with the slight twist. Thanks JT

[@SurfCasting-jx8zx]

You saved my reel :D Thank you so much!

[@evelynwegner4347]

Thanks so much for the video! I took apart my first reel yesterday and i've put the spring in wrong so the antireverse doesn't work! Really appreciate your video as it shows where i've gone wrong and what to do! Just bought a Sahara too but the one i've taken apart is a cheapy Silstar reel. Thanks again!

[@purpledserex]

Great video, many thanks, it can't be stressed enough that if suddenly after servicing your ant-reverse 'just stopped working' to check you have that tapered spacing collar the right way up as you point out at the end ! That alone can save you having to dis-assemble the whole anti-reverse mechanism as it will make the anti-reverse only work when the reel is pointing down! if at all ! Keep up the good work Tom !

[@henation9203]

Just got a shimano biomaster reel from my friend and immedietly clean it up..after cleaning and greasing some parts, i wonder why the anti reverse not working..so i search videos and luckily i saw your great, informative, helpful video..thanks for sharing sir...well done

[@olligesd9343]

Thank you! My surf rod got knocked over and my Shimano Baitrunner 12000D reel got injected with half the sand on the beach. Took it apart, cleaned all the sand out, re-greased it, and the anti-reverse wouldn't work. Found this video and it's back like new. Thank you so much!

[@kindheart2792]

Thanks a lot. I was really sad my reel stopped working. Now it is perfect.

[@RadicalNation4x4]

While watching your very helpful video, my mother and I both agree that you missed your calling as a golf announcer. Thanks for the video, back in action

[@rodhamilton5047]

Thank you, my Slade now works. Very well done Tom, Rod

[@tonygonzalez7029]

[@Jedhaase]

Thanks, this video helped me out. The anti reverse can get very complicated

[@native9130]

The most useful video on UA-cam thx a lot mann!!

[@Howie875]

Thanks soo much for this video! Took pictures while I was taking it apart but found out later they were blurred! Found out I put the springs in wrong. By the way , as a dog owner, I recognize the whining and scratching in the background as a dog trying to get in.....

[@Geoonthegrind]

Great video. Helped me out a ton.
Thank you

[@cpmorrell]

very informative and clear directions. thank you

[@nacerbak9250]

[@americanangleroutdoors]

great video, you are a life (and reel) saver.

[@tombrophy5635]

Great video. Really helped me. Thanks so much.

[@ijy1970]

Thanks greatly for this video. It saved me sending my Twinpower 8000PG back to Japan for a service. I'd made the mistake of loosening the two screws holding the whole anti-reverse block together and the springs had popped out of the right alignment when I put them back in.

[@JerseyTom]

Good stuff! Glad you found the video useful and were able to get things working again.

[@halroach1419]

thanks. great job! very well done. Worked for me.

[@LSB12A]

What a lesson! 100 tnxsss! )) I can complete service of my beautiful Thunnus now!

[@glennrbartlett]

Great video and saved me alot of time and inconvenience

[@phardiman84]

Reassembled my Saragosa using this video, and I was able to correct the infinite reverse problem. Thanks!

[@JerseyTom]

No problem, glad that it helped. Tight lines!

[@ALi-we3gf]

Lifesaver! My Shimano Stradic FK was spinning backwards and I had no idea what was causing it. Definitely use this video in the future!

[@JerseyTom]

A Lin glad it helped!

[@MrHoutkop]

Awesome! Thanks for the vid!!

[@latorgator23]

Thx. This help me degrease the anti reverse assembly on my Sienna 2500. I was "that guy" that greased everything...

[@philderoche1805]

Great video

[@jejakakelajuan880]

thanks toms.. your video saved my shimano.. hehe

[@rubencisneros90]

Drag kept slipping watched your vid turned out the whole assembly was full of grease watched the id and its as good as new !!!

[@nevandrews3477]

Brilliant video. V helpful ....thanks so much

[@phardiman84]

Thanks for this. After reassembling my Saragosa, the reel was going in reverse despite it being a "Stoperless" design. I must not have lined up something properly - probably the springs. I didn't full disassemble the anti-reverse mechanism but I had to have moved something out of position/alignment. I'll open the reel again, and using your video, hopefully be able to remedy the problem.

[@ernestperez4727]

Great video 👍

[@Tezido]

Thanks, Tom! You saved my life!

[@JerseyTom]

You're welcome, thanks for watching

[@tthomasr1425]

Awesome video!!!! Thanks!!!

[@BubbaNoze]

Thanks so much for this -- great help just at the right time! Unfortunately looks like I'll need to replace mine. Just too much rust damage on the rollers from neglect (used reel).

[@88krazie]

Great VID thanks!

[@DodoLands]

Thank you for your video Tom. you helped me out finish this puzzle. Let us know if you have a vid on explaining how to put the spring back in the bail. There's one on youtube but they do not show the actual way to place the spring and its plastic connector.

[@jaimecruz8855]

Thank you for sharing

[@ferizb]

Nice video man, thank you!

[@megalowdonny3152]

I was trying to reassemble this on my Sienna, went through several different ways of, assembling it, and eventually found this video. Turns out, I had it right one of the times, but my way of testing if the anti-reverse was activating or not was flawed. I thought you could test if it was activating by turning the pinion manually, but apparently you have to actually have the rotor and handle on to check (for the Sienna at least).
Thank you for helping me make sure I got it right though, this would’ve been great for me to see before I spent over half an hour trying out all the other configurations. 😂
