But you have an older model VS, I never worked on one of those. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ged Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I use a strap wrench for the older reels. Works like a charm and doesn’t damage the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookman9095 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 So I got it figured out.the heat gun was the solution!I guess from being unopened for so long it needed a little heat to loosen up the rubber seal on the aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it worked out for you, try a light coat of grease on the assembly... Lou T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
