Change reel to LHW

I've just bought a Hardy LRH leghtweight reel on Ebay, in perfect condition,
the only fly in the ointment is that it is set upo for right hand wind. Does
anyone know how to change the checks and pawls to enable rhw? Hardy's used
to come with a small paper insert in the reel to show you how to change but
not int his reel case. Thanks for any help.

first you need to swap the line guard over then "turn both tongues
anticlockwise" - i.e. the little pawls that act as check.

(holding the reel and looking down the right hand pawl now be pointy end
pointing toward the centre of the reel. the other one sits with its long
side against the spring

You can tell if its right by winding the reel with the check screwed on
hard - you will notice that reeling in is easier than pulling off line.

Hope this a) makes sense b) is helpful
