reel maintenance gone wrong

[Blanko]

I just stripped my reels down (a penn captiva cv5000 and a shakespeare salt spinner) in order to clean them, oil them etc

Everything went fine until i tried to get the bail arm mechanisms back together and for the life of me i cant work out how to do it

Does anyone know if there are some diagrams / pictures available somewhere that might help me?

Iv been trying for a while now and its making me want to drink heavily.

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks for those links Coleg - the Penn schematics are pretty good, still no closer to getting them back together though

Think im gonna have to take em in to a tackle shop and hope someone takes pity on me

Mostly US models but Alan Tani's site is always worth a look for reel servicing info - Fishing Reel Repair by Alan Tani - Index

Fixed spool reels are a pain in the butt, always seems to be springs and bits flying about when you open them up.
