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.
• Using the screwdriver, gently tease both factory bearings or bushes (depending on the model) from the original knob along with the shim washers.
• Fit one bearing or bush into the end of the new spigot, which will face the reel arm, and slide back onto the reel arm shaft.
• Then fit the washers (note washers may not be required on assembly) 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 with a 10mm spanner.
