Clean the bearing first. Unless the reel is old it should still be good. If you get oil or grease in it they can fail.

Vic, go to the auto parts store or Scott's house and grab a can of "Brakleen". Disassemble the reel until you get to the AR bearing. spray it good and long with the brakleen. let it dry for a while while you have a beer. then reassemble. Should be fine.



...I'm not a big fan of instant anti reverse, because it fails. The reels I use now have instant anti reverse and a regular, old fashioned, Abu style backup anti reverse, because the manufacturers know that the IAR on conventionals is a weak spot.
