Hi Jamskin, Under NO account try to undo the bedknife screws yourself...the engineer that does the spin-grind on your reel will do that and supply a new bedknife and new screws if that is necessary...you may crack the cast-iron soleplate....Very many $$$ if you break it.... cry

We are here to help, just ask questions before you attempt something you have not done before...there are traps for the uninitiated along the way....bedknife screws is one of them wink !

Please do not PM me asking for support. Please post your questions in the appropriate forums, as the replies it may receive may help all members, not just the individual member.
Kindest Regards, Darryl grin
