Fitting Instructions

Swapping the original moulded plastic knob fitted as standard could not be simpler and can be done in the comfort of your own living room using a small Philips screwdriver & pick tool.

• Simply remove the chrome cover from the standard knob by placing a pick tool or small flat screwdriver under one end and gently lifting.
• Once removed this will reveal a small Philips screw. Undo the screw and slide off the original moulded knob then using the screwdriver gently tease both factory bushes (depending on the model) from the original knob along with the shim washers.
• Fit one bearing into the end of the new Black spigot, which will face the reel arm, and slide back on to the reel arm shaft.
• Fit the washers followed by the second bearing/bush on to the shaft and into the spigot and tighten the screw.
• Finally, once the spigot is mounted to the shaft screw the alloy knob on turning clockwise and nip up by hand.
