In this second video of the Abu Garcia 6500c3 maintenance, Tips, Tricks and Fix we go into the worm gear and line guide of this Bait Cast Reel. #abugarciamaintenance #abugarcic6500c3 #abugarciabaitcastreel
Nice job, well explained. The only difference I would recommend is not adding grease to the worm gear because it is an external gear. Grease is like a magnet to collect dirt, dust, sand and any other contaminant which will then act like sand paper. Better off to lubricate external gears with a light fishing reel oil.
Thank you Buck Commander, I think I will do an experiment with the grease vs oil, this seems to be a 50/50 for some say grease and others oil, thanks again!
@@ClearviewOutdoors, check out 2nd Chance Tackle on RU-vid, he has been servicing and repairing reels for over 30 years. He is the best at it I have seen. That is where I found out this info.
Just watching this video love that series just want to chime in, worm gear is light oil only. Abu oil, Lucas, hot sauce all are good for worm gears, for any level wind. Just my 2 cents.
@@alaricsept I know a lot of people prefer the oil but Iv had great results with the grease, we fish hard sometimes through all season and the grease was recommended to me from a reel repair shop owner for the way we fish, I know the oil is just as good or even better but you have to put it on more throughout the year, I like to grab them and go. Thank you for chiming in, glad you enjoyed the series and thank you for watching!
No I do not, I have several 7000s and keep saying I’m going to do one, there should be some out there on RU-vid I think. Thanks for watching, I have one that needs some work, maybe I can do video on it.
Add a dual bearing idler gear, worm gear, Carbontex drag washers, ceramic pall and some ABEC 7 hybrid ceramic bearings and that reel will be ready to go.
Mine didnt have the bearing on the worm drive, just a white plastic insert. Could i order one for it and would it fit? ? Its a regular 6500 c3. Thank you
