Bassinjunkie88 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have a couple of these that I loved to use a long time ago and wondered about taking them apart to clean and service them. I cannot figure out how to do so. Here's a pic of them. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Have you tried doing an online search for "reel schematics"? I had a link to a site bookmarked that you could download the schematics for a bunch of different reels, but unfortunately it was one of the things lost when my computer had to be reformatted. That's about the best I can do as I know nothing about Quantums. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassinjunkie88 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I still can't seem to find anymore info on these. I have the handle and the drag system off, but still having issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Not sure about this reel, but a lot of reels open by twisting the palming side plate about 90 degrees and it pops off to expose the screws that hold it all together. There may be a small leaver under the reel that has to be moved side ways to allow the side plate to rotate. Most are a tight fit. Hope this helps.

mark poulson Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have those reels. They are not hard to service. Once you remove the spool, there are screws holding the handle-side side plate that you have to remove. Go slow, so you don't loose the two small springs that load the thumb bar release. I suggest you take digital pictures as you go, so you'll know where everything goes once you have it all apart and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Attached is a reel diagram from Mike's Reel Repair in PDF format. Looks like you need to remove a couple of screws from inside the right side of the reel after removing the left side plate and the spool (which is pretty common).
