Merv,

Spinning reels are a whole different animal. They are kinda like a transmission rebuild with the timing and amount of parts, and wear marks, they must go back exactly as you took them apart, especially these with the baitrunner feature. This one was used in salt hence the corrosion, and contaminated grease. Spinning reels require grease in more areas than baitcasters, but a different weight of grease, and has to be applied very thin. Then you have the bail spring, mechanism, roller guide bearings, bushings, and washers.
