lewtham leeds centre pin reel tool

[Bernie74]

I've just purchased a lewtham leeds centre pin reel, and although it spins extremely well and the ratchet etc works fine, I like to do a small clean and service on it, but I'm struggling on finding any online instructions on how to take it apart or any oiling spots. So I'd appreciate it if anyone can explain on how to take it apart etc.

Plastic disc on the front of spool comes off revealing the upper ball bearing race and there's a circlip to remove if you want to take it to bits

I found that there is a key for key operated light switches that is a perfect tool for the screw on the back of the Lewtham,
There are several types of these keys and you may have to find an electrical wholesalers but most should stock them.

Ironically these are called Fish keys.
