The roller bearing wasnt physically damaged. Its is a 7 year old Sol roller bearing thats prob got grit and all manner of junk and rust in it. Long story short, even after a ultrasonic shellite bath overnight and experimenting separtely with inox mx3 mx5 mx6 mx7 mx8 (which didnt get rid of the bearing grind), i tried some castrol gtx I had lying around. Well the castrol fixed up the noise 100°% whereas all other oils and grease didn't. This is a one off thing but in the future if any roller bearing issues can't be fixed up by inox products then I would probably resort to using castrol gtx grease again

I still cant find Castrol GTX grease? What's the description on the tub? Just because she's not howelling doesnt mean its somewhere near fixed, its just been masked over, the grease has quietened it down as such. Question is - has the roller bearing stopped moving and is it spinning inside the roller housing? Only way to tell is to open it up, and run line over the roller and watch the bearing spin, which isnt easy for such a small bearing. Nothing is as what it seems in servicing reels - break out a magnifying glass if need be. |

Castrol HTB grease. Just got home and looking at the tub now.
Inox is what I exclusively use now but it didn't work in this instance nor did 3-in-1, nulon ptfe and myriad of other products. |

What I rekon has happened is because castrol HTB is so sticky and thick it has completely coated the little ball bearings and stopped all friction and internal abrasions. When I say its thick and sticky I mean it in the most extreme way

Use it but keep in mind that its got no corrosion protection nor any friction modifiers - and not suitable for fishing reels. Cheap nasty $8 a tub stuff. Should have used Merc 2-4-C - this is Bentone based and sticky / tacky and would have been perfect as its a MArine specific grease. I use it but not in bearings, too thick. |

It fixed the bearing noise in the old Sol. It wadnt my reel after all so didn't care what happened to it. No way I'd service my own reels with it, I'd just buy new bearings. Just an interesting and bizarre thing I thought I'd share.

I just sat through most of this "review" on the chronarch ci4+ until the reviewer couldnt figure out how to access the pawl on the level wind. He even suggested that shimano should make it more accessible for adjustment i think he said. Wtf for????? Lol
Made me think a bit the reviews on tackle you get from around the place. Maybe they should be impressions. Thoughts? Nagz

hey guys, is is it possible to take just the side plate off of a sustain fg? I've done it on my stradic ci4, so figured the sustain would too but it just won't budge. All the screws are out and that

There is a fourth screw. You'll need to take off the Rotor and rubber ring to access it.

EDIT: All good sorted it out. Just wanted to squeeze a bit of grease around the creases to try and improve against water intrusion as I've started using it on the yak. Thanks for the help mate. Last edited by Pies1010; 07-07-2014 at 10:45 PM. |

For a 2500, take the shimming washers off and then a 0.9mm allen key to remove the grub screw. I assume the size is the same for 1000 size Sustains as the 0.9mm fits my 1000 Biomaster as well.
Slazmo got away with using the thread end of a sewing needle for the grub screw. I couldn't unscrew mine using the same technique. Finding the mini allen keys as a stand alone can be tricky. Slot car racing stores may have them. eBay definitely does. Dick Smiths have them (but only in a set), as does Auto Barn (again, only as a set). There is a number of other online stores allegedly based in Australia which advertise them too. I ended up buying the Dick Smith set. The pieces included managed to fill a number of sizes I was missing anyway.
