![]() If you want to use Abu carbon washers, the part number will be in the link below. Kinda funny now, but a bit testy at the time !!! I had a rodster on another forum who swore his number was correct, until I told him he was holding the reel backwards. If held backwards, some sequences of numbers can be read backwards, so to avoid this, just orient the crank side to your midriff, and the non crank side pointing away from you. Just to be safe, can you post the first four numbers off the foot on the 5 plus. ![]() The number you posted is that for the bronze bushings. Alan's got a tutorial on the 55C3 style reel, so you can catch lots of good hints there. ![]() ![]() The carbon drag pack from smoothdrag will be the setup for any 4-5-6 sized Abu with the 3-stack array. the bb's for the Anti-backlash, and the plus will be 4 x 10 x 4. I was not getting in your 's easier to tackle the reels bit by each is all. While I am in it, is there anything I should watch out for, or would it just be best to have some far more knowledgable than myself handle that one? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. I know that carbontex drag washers will be going in, but can anyone tell me which ones? Should I replace the bearings with ceramic ones? What upgrades will give me the most performance for these reels? I have used the 5000 since I was 11, so after 21 years of service to me I feel horrible for never having gone through it. The problem I have is that there is just so much information out there that I got a bit confused. I would also like to do the commonly suggested upgrades at the same time. I have never torn anything down, but would like to be able to so that I can service my own reels. They schematics for everything but the 5000 are nice and clean, so doing a complete teardown should be time consuming but doable. I have the schematics for all of these courtesy of Abu Garcia. It is easiest to assume that all 4 have never been serviced or maintained. I have 4 Abu Garcia reels that I am looking to upgrade.
