I have just picked up one of these reels for a good price.

I do have one question though.

I would like to service it but I have a problem.

I can remove the handle, tension knob and the drag star. I then loosen the 3
screws to remove the side cover.

Well, the side cover comes loose but only moves about 4 millimeters away
from the reel before something stops it from comming totally off.

I don't want to force it, it's a great reel, but I don't want to break
anything.

I tried to gently twist it both clockwise and anticlockwise, but no go.

I checked for any screws on the opposite side plate to see if any might be
holding it on from the other side of the reel.

Anyone got any experience servicing these reels?

Thanks.

Conlan.
