How do I dis-assemble a Freams?
hi guys,
as you may already know my freams took a quick dip in some salt/brackish water  . Now I have taken pretty much everything apart but the gear box and foot as I'm not sure what might fall out. I was wondering what size alan key I need to take the screws off and what I can expect to find.I can't be bothered paying $40+ just to give it a clean after I have just done that/can do that myself. I have already given it a rinse like some have suggested and let it dry etc. Also what lubes/grease do you suggest for cleaning and greasing reels? thanks  .

I'd send it back. Most older reels without oil or mag seal I will happily service myself. I dropped my Steez in the salt water a while ago and pulled it all apart. Gave it a good spraying with Protecta lube. After I was happy every inch of the reel was washed out by the spray I gave it heaps of Protecta oil and put it back together. Good as new! But I dunno with these oil seal reels mate, never tried.

If you do decide to take it apart, make sure your hands are clean and dry, don't use any aerosol anywhere near it and don't use any soap or solvents etc, as they could permanently stuff the oil seal.

I don't think I'd even try that to be honest fisho! Pretty risky task you're better off paying $40 for a service over $215 for a new reel if you stuff it!

Dunno pretty risky! Could be fine, really depends how much salt water got in it. It could crap itself in a month or it could be fine for years. Because ATM you can't fully pull it apart you don't really know where the salt got to.
You can find those tools in most hardware stores.

I service my reels all the time. Mostly my t3 cause it gets so much use. But you need all the right tools and greases and oils before you can consider taking it apart. Regarding salt, that's a diferent matter, if you don't know what your doing already I woulnt attempt it. Sure you're not going to be fishing for a while but it will stuff up at some point and flushing it with fresh could have pushed salt further into the reel. I would send it off, it's a small price to pay for the peice of mind of knowing you wont have an on going problem regarding corrosion.
