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.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

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 KZbin, 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.

[@MuskratAdventures]

Keep em coming. Good job.

Thanks brother means a lot, you really need to make the switch, lol

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.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

@@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!

[@ddeverhart]

Hi there hadn't seen you in awhile good video

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Hey glad you like it, thanks for watching!

[@catfishfreshfishing]

Do you have a video on how to clean and oil a 7000 it was new in box but it's from 1986 and would like to pull it apart and clean

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

No I do not, I have several 7000s and keep saying I’m going to do one, there should be some out there on KZbin I think. Thanks for watching, I have one that needs some work, maybe I can do video on it.

[@catfishfreshfishing]

That's what's up man great videos

[@jamesbartholomew3914]

Having a difficult time locating a pall for a Garcia 6500c bait cast.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Dad’s Ol Tackle, E-Replacement Parts and E-Bay are great places to find parts, thanks for watching!

[@Danny-qi4lp]

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.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Oh my I don’t think I need all that, but I bet it would be sweet, thanks for watching and input!

[@jason1990erb]

Nice job skip

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Thanks bud, glad you like it and thanks for watching!

[@seanvan6377]

whats the tip ?

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Most of the time worm gear is just dirty causing problems, keeping it cleaned and lubed up keeps problems away! Thanks for watching!

[@wayned5872]

A bit too much grease for my liking ,but, nice job

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Thanks for watching

[@MegaA10warthog]

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

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

@@MegaA10warthog yes just make sure it’s the worm gear bearing (smaller) and not a spool bearing (bigger), hope this helps and thanks for watching!
