Clean off the frame and body of the reel with a Toothbrush dipped in Benzine. Rinse with hot soapy water and allow to dry.
Once dried, coat the entire frame with a light coat of grease, this will help prevent corrosion.

Many parts of this reel were badly corroded. After a benzine soak, parts were dried, sprayed with a rust buster like WD40, and allowed to penetrate for 15 minutes or so. Remaining spots of rust/corrosion were either sanded down with fine grit (800-1600) waterpaper.
Examine all parts for signs of rust and corrosion, particularly the bearings.

Opened up the bearings and this is what you find...!!
When buying a reel, I always open up the bearings and grease or oil them properly. Standard bearings are more often than not, insufficiently lubed, leading to this...

On top of the Pawl is a pawl washer... that fits under the screw.

Make sure that the Pawl engages the ratchet properly, at the right angle!

All parts that get replaced back onto the reel are coated with a quality low viscosity grease like Daiwa, Surecatch Red.

Now you can screw the Side Plate back on after replacing the spool.
All done and happy fishing!

Sooooooooo glad I'm not the only one. :dunno:
Thanks Tony. This will help, I really do think so. Is there specific tools that I will need besides screwdrivers and pliers?

Thanks Reefz,
Just in time! Need to service my old Penn Senator 4/0. Reckon it should be very similar?

Don't think so Marcos... think the older Penn Senator's are more like the Penn 49's and Jigmasters?? Dunno. But I think Alan Tani has them on his website... maybe worth a look...

Oh ok... Will do.
Shot!

Marcos... found a nice tut for you... Penn Senator 4/0 or 113H...
The reel was manufactured in the late '70's, so as I thought, it's completely different to the later models. It's got that pesky spring loaded Yoke plate that all the old Penn's had - hate them!!! ... good luck!!
