I can't figure out how to get the reel off the seat. I assume you just unscrew the end. I can get the line puller off but cant loosen the reel. I know its sad but any suggestions? Don't be too mean guys I know its pathetic

 

[Noobshooter]

Its like the damn thing is welded!!

Any chance the line puller is what is used to put compression on the sleeves that hold the foot of the reel? It may just be bound up under the sleeves. Gentle tapping with a calibrated compression wrench might do the trick. Or just hit it with a hammer...:tu: seriously though, if it is a stainless steel reel foot and it is bound up under tension of the sleeves, it could be a bugger to try and break free just by hand. Careful tapping may free it up. Good luck!

Take a crescent wrench around the main shaft and tap on that to get the end piece off. They can be pretty tight. Once you get it off lightly sand the end of the shaft so the end comes off a little easier.

 

[Imapaleascale]

Yep, basically the same idea that I had, only your idea of using the crescent wrench to spread the force evenly around the sleeve will probably work better and result in much less chance of just smashing the reel (or a finger) like a hammer could. :clap:

I hit the one I had with a hammer and wrench. They're sturdy but a pain to change reels.

I tried a wrench and hammer and no luck. I just need the reel off so I can screw the sest into my bow. Still have some time to get it off before shooting starts

why dont you just screw it onto your bow with the reel on?

With that style seat the whole thing tightens against the riser, very solidly, but then the reel needs to go on second to make sure it is top dead center.

The newer version (last two years maybe) of the pro seat has the end cap relieved a little to fit the foot of the reel so it won't lock crazy tight like that. I have both version and just the regular alum endcap will need a good smack to release.

It might help to heat the cap...heat will expand metal slightly, so if you heat just the cap, it will expand radially a hair and make it easier to remove. Those cheap HF heat guns are very useful at times.

I shoot a craze and the reel gets in the way. I can't tighten the seat much

 

[Bull-73]

Sell th craze and buy a menace

 

[Noobshooter]

I like my craze. But I miss my lever bows

Mine gets in the way on certain bows also. Put a lock washer and nut. So you dont have to screw it on all the way.

 

[Noobshooter]

Finally got the reel off the seat and everything on my bow. Thanks for the help guys. Now if only there wasn't a foot of ice everywhere
