What is going on guys, I thank you all for joining me and today
We're going to be going over daya's max ceiling and how to deal with it
Should you decide you want to work on your own real now not everybody has this stuff lying around
But what I want to show you today is that it's not as difficult as people make it seem and you can easily do it
Yourself without disrupting the existing seal so what you're going to need to do
Remove the top e clip or C
Clip that holds the bearing and a spool support once you do that
You'll pull the bearing and the seal out and you'll have to push this pin out
That will allow you to remove the rest of it
exposing nothing, but the shaft this cosmetic plate here and
the rotor retaining nut
Remove that nut and there will be a bushing underneath it that generally seats above the pinion on the shaft
And you can now remove the rotor. It's very straightforward and simple and in order to save time
I figured I'd leave that step out because this is what you want to see
This blue cap here screws down
And it keeps essentially the entire AR clutch pack fully sealed from the top down you can see the pinion
the anti reverse clutch sleeve and
the magnetic disc this portion of the magnetic disk is essentially a
protective cover that keeps it centered and
Without the rotor on this the air clutch sleeve it
May not be centered in that gap or that magnetic gap so you do want to be careful at this point
so what you're going to do now is take this blue cap and
Counterclockwise
Slowly unscrew it you don't want to go too fast because if there is any build-up, or bleed of the ferrofluid or any grease
That's in there. You don't want it to lift out the
Magnet unit prematurely so once we've got it fully unscrewed. We're going to gently lift it up and
Out it's at this point
You're now staring at what makes up?
Well the stuff called Maxiell that's right you're tearing out
What's called what makes up the mag seal unit now what you want to do if you don't have this stuff lying around is
with three fingers and go up and over the main shaft and
with your fingernails lift up the one side of that magnetic washer and once you get it as
So you can lift it out and before you go too far
The AR clutch which is that piece that pulled out on the bottom?
It's not really being held on very tightly by magnetism, so it could fall
Make sure that if you're doing this on your own you
Either go like this or you have a towel below, so doesn't hit the bottom if it falls off and bounce
So right now you just lift it out the entire assembly if you want to leave it as is and
not lubricate the AR clutch
Or do anything you can now remove the screws that hold that pinion bearing in place and service the reel as you normally would
When you're ready to put it back in to be perfectly honest with you, it's actually easier to take
This assembly apart
So you're going to remove they are the AR clutch bearing by itself
and if you want to clean it out or whatever you want to do go right ahead, but
Make sure before you start putting it back together you put that little eared washer back in place and makes reassembling much easier
now you have a couple washers below the mag unit and
It may be easier to take a pick tool and kind of lift it off
like that
This is the mag unit itself
It incorporates the AR clutch sleeve and this magnetic washer
And it's really not going to go anywhere because it's held in place by magnetism so I can shake this around
And I'll look real stupid if it falls out, but it's not going anywhere
You know the magic of magnetism so what I'm going to do is I'm going to place this here out of the way
grab the body of the real and
Start putting this back together because we're going to pretend. We fully open this real, and we're done and ready to put it back together
With this eared washer already in air a clutch pack
We're going to go ahead and find the larger tooth right there
You'll see there's an ear here a year here and this larger tooth here
and that's
Going to go right there if you put the clutch pack in without putting that washer in you can see those little orange
Kind of teeth that come out it's key to that washer
It makes it kind of tough to get it back in line
So you want to put that back on the clutch pack before you put it back in the real?
At this point you can now take the washer with the two ears
place it on top and
It should go in pretty easily
I'd have to rotate the clutch pack a little bit
Good, and that's fully seated. Take your o-ring
Place it back where it should go
Since I'm doing this looking at the viewfinder it's always trickier
Good take this non-magnetic washer at least I think it's non-magnetic
Place that over the entire assembly you can see it's kind of recessed in make sure it goes down all the way
this example is it fully seated and
Now if you're gonna leave the AR clutch
sleeve and magnetic
washer
pretty much
Alone, and you don't you don't have ferrofluid that you want to replace
You can now slide it down, and you can see it is keyed, so
Sometimes it's easier
Just to kind of rotate it about so and it kind of dropped in a little bit now sometimes. You're a little stubborn
sometimes they're not
This time around and went in pretty easily
And I'm pushing down on the AR clutch sleeve before I begin pushing on that magnet disk
And if you watch before it goes down all the way might go in with a little pop
Just like that
You're now ready to
Put this top disc or top cap back in place
And
Clean up any ferrofluid now. I was playing around with it quite a bit
And you can see I really didn't disturb much of the ferrofluid
if you want to clean it out all you have to do is use some denatured alcohol on a q-tip running around inside and
I'll rat it. I am going to
Clean it out
Grab a paper towel double it up since I don't have gloves long as this stuff gets everywhere
Get this o ring out of the way before I damage it
You can see this stuff makes a mess
Okay, I'm not even being gentle with this magnetic portion of the Maxiell unit
So should you have decided to go ahead and clean it out
This is all you're gonna need to do let me get this back in place like so
And get this top piece back in place like so we're gonna go ahead and grab that oh ring
Place it back on top
And because we're being thorough we're gonna clean this washer once again
Pop it over top. Hopefully everything's in frame
Grab our AR clutch sleeve slide it on down
And since it's there's no ferrofluid already. I'm not being real considered as to
the order
Pop this back in I don't if you showed up on the mic, but it popped it when it went back in again
Now that we have that magnetic washer and air clutch sleeve back in place. We're going to go ahead now and
Put the AR clutch cap back in place
You can grease the threads just to make sure it doesn't gall or bind or get stuck make sure it's tight
and now take your
mystical magical ferrofluid and
a straw
I like using a little coffee stirrer type straws and a little tip if you shave it down
Kind of like that is just like you basically cut it on an angle. It'll make it almost like a
quill pen or hypodermic needle
So grab your ferrofluid
and
Touch it in the gap
Grab a little bit more
And you can see it's gonna work its way all the way around
You don't have to go nuts with this stuff
This is the definition of a little dab'll do you?
And this will probably be more than enough that one big drop that's about to go on in there
And
99% of time it's gonna automatically work its way around
But it's just fun to play with now
Let's take a look see if we could find a magnetic field in this you see that
See how it's going to kind of go to the one spot
And work its way around
If I were you I wouldn't waste this stuff
but
Can I write with it speaking of quillpen
t
And no, it's not
So yeah that pretty much covers it you can now go ahead and put the rotor back in and
reassemble as
needed I'm going to clean this mess up and
The last thing you want to be doing is taking a paper towel
to this whole assembly after you just
Put the ferrofluid in because you don't want to take any out of the gap
And you just basically been wasting ferrofluid so with that being said I hope you found this informative
it's very simple a
Lot of people are pretty scared of it me personally. It's no different than working with any other
Type of seal on any type of reel and now that I was coming out with a few new reels
I figured I'd bring this up because
There may be some chatter on the interweb saying oh Maxwell's problematic Maxiell sucks bubble blots impossible
I would never buy a reel that I can't service myself. Etc. Etc. Etc so
Yeah, it's not that difficult to deal with and this is one of the more complex Mac sealed reels outside of their long cast designs
Available in the JDM market or Europe so I appreciate the time you guys spend here without you I wouldn't be here
Make sure if you found this informative definitely leave a like down below and until next time guys tight lines
And I will see you soon
