help fox stratos reel, spool.

[tc1]

can anyone tell me how to replace the black front knob onto the fox stratos 7000 spool.
i took the knob of the spool, but it wont go back on, it just clicks and wont engage onto the spool so you can see the spool release button in the centre.
this stops the clutch tightening, and the black knob just falls off.
hope this makes sense, and any help would be great.
thanks

Hi TC1 I cant follow your post mate sorry ?. But in breif send it back to Fox their customer services are really good.
PS you should have got a Shimano LOL

Tc1 sory mate now I understand and guess what send it back to fox LOL. Most reel are a little fiddly to get the spool top cap back on due to the fine threads and plastic cap be careful mate don't cross thread the cap.
