Abu Garcia Ambassador 6500 reel cleaning and repair.

[bushwacker]

I have 6 Abu Garcia 6500 C3 reels I picked up used last year that I use for striper fishing. I brought them all home this winter to re-line, clean, grease and fix a couple parts. I am have a couple issues with a couple of the reels that I would like to discuss with someone that is familiar with them before I tear them apart and attempt to buy parts. If someone who has experience servicing these reels would shoot me a PM that would be great. Thanks guys Happy New Years.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking to do the work myself though. Just looking to chat with someone who could give some advice on what parts i need and where to get them. Just really looking for some insight I want to learn to service my reels myself. Thanks
