Excellent video! I've got a penn battle and a penn slammer that were found on the bottom while diving. Excellent video to walk through break down so I can clean them up and use them!
Wow! Nice find! The anti-reverse clutches will need to be replaced for sure. Check out my video library for my video on refurbishing bearings.... you might be able to save them. Hit the thumbs up and spread the word about the channel. More vids to come.
For applying grease I use elf eyeliner brush Also I wash bearings in diesel fuel or kerosene , put them in a water bottle with kerosene and a shake shake shake,,,
Fantastic video once again, I watch your videos when I work on my reels. I made a bit of an amateur mistake working on my Slammer cleaning my drags and thought soapy water would do the trick:/ the glue holding the drags to the plates gave. Am I able to glue them back on? What type of glue or should I get new ones? Advice much appreciated. Antonio
Thanks for watching, brother! Sorry to hear about the drag washers issue. I use Brake Cleaner on those things when I want to get them clean and never had an issue, so it separating with just some soap and water seems odd. If the carbon fiber is fine, yes you can glue them back on.A thin layer of JB Weld (ORIGINAL) should work fine... just need to put some weight on it for about 24 hours so it can set properly (read the instructions).... just be sure to not have the weight interact with the glue, otherwise, that's where the washer will stay. Hope this helps. Barry P. S. - I would probably just get new ones.
Thanks for checking out the video! The brown grease is more expensive, and designed to be used with carbon fiber drags. You can use over the entire reel also, if you want. More vids to come.
Just wanted to tell you how helpful your videos are for me. Excellent and very thorough. I just serviced my Slammer 3 5500 using this video as a reference. One thing I noticed with my reel was the rotor nut, if just hand tightened to much, made the rotor sluggish. I had to back the rotor nut off until it was almost loose before the rotor would spin freely. Is this normal? I put the nut cover over it so it won’t move. I understand if the rotor is tightened to much it can cause the rotor to bind. My rotor nut must be loose for the rotor to spin. I also have a 4500 model, and that reel I can tighten the rotor nut and it still spins freely. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Thanks for checking out the video! I have a smaller version than this 9500 that came in that I'll record servicing today.... should be posted in a month or so. Regarding the loose rotor nut explained..... sounds like you have a pinion bearing issue.... start by replacing the lower pinion bearing to see if that helps. Then go to the upper.
Thanks for the reply. I’m gonna try what you said and see what happens. I’ll just pick up 2 bearings from mystic. The existing bearings look like new, but who knows until I try it. . The only way the rotor even spins is if I hand tighten lightly. I notice the rotor has a tiny wobble also, due to not being able to tighten down the nut. Anyway, thanks again for the advice. Much appreciated.
You're welcome and thanks for watching! Penn changed the bail wire and line roller design. I don't currently have all the parts to show you. You can read about it here: www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/DesignChange/SLA6500.aspx
Nice breakdown of the reel…..Have a slammer 6500 that too acouple hard hits on ground.I feels rough now but not sure why.Hasn’t been used a lot.Took it apart and nothing obvious as far bear damage.Thought maybe main shaft got bent but doesn’t appear that way.Rolled it on a mirror to check it.Any thoughts?
Thanks for checking out the video. A bent shaft would result in more of a sluggish feel while oscillating. The first thing I would check are the line roller bearings, then the pinion and main bearings. If all those are fine, do a close up check the teeth of your main and pinion gears.... if they're worn, you can try adding some shims to the MG. Hope that helps.
God damn this video is a life saver. I’m attempting to rebuild/replace some seals in my Slammer 4500. I noticed some differences in the 9500 but for the most part things seem similar. Anything I should be aware of? Also what is safe to use as a degreaser or cleaner for the internal body of the reel and gears?
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you found the video useful. Nothing significantly different that I can think of off the top of my head. For cleaning, I would probably just use Corrosion X (or another type of penetrating oil), Q-Tips, a toothbrush and paper towels. It'll be the safest way. More vids to come.... spread the word about the channel.
@@TSGReelService awesome man, thanks for the immediate response. This reel would be sent out & I’d be waiting who knows how long if it wasn’t for this video. I’ll share your page on my instagram
Great video! I just purchased a Slammer III 10500. I’m looking modify the drag washers to get more low end for bait fishing. Are the Dura Drag washers interchangeable with other drag washers (the HT-100)? Or can I simply remove one of the drag washers to get lower drags out of the reel?
Thanks for watching! I'm assuming you're referring to the lower drag, since that's where the majority of "heavy drag" originates. In theory, you should be able to remove one of the lower end drag with another metal washer, and that should help, but will affect top end drag. You're probably better getting a second smaller reel for smaller fish.
Hey mate, love your stuff! Just wondering where did you get those bearing tweezer and what are they actually called? I've been searching for them for a while and can't find them, cheers.
@@TSGReelService You're a legend to go for that info for me!! cheers mate, i really appreciate it! I'm over in Australia. Do you think he would ship one by any chance?

Thanks for replying i try follow up all the step i don't over grease them put them all back correctly but still when spinning the handle it not as much grinning but it not as smooth and i can feel them gear mesh.
You're welcome and no worries. For some reason, those reels feel better with a little extra grease on the gears. You can try that first and see how it feels. Still the same? Then try playing with the number of shims on the main gear.

thank you for the video. i was told slammer 3s had a design change in the line roller bearing. is that something you can show people how to upgrade?

Hi, is this the same as the IV version? I got a 8500, thanks
Hi, check my video library for the reel model and version you're seeking. It should be there or close. Thanks.
