Hi all, this is my first time on Fishing Magic and was looking for some advice.
I have just bought a second hand but unused Adcock Stanton pin for some river work, but as this is my first ever pin I know very little about cleaning / maintenance etc. The pin itself has been on a shelf since new but for how long I don't know. When spinning the pin it seems to rub and come to a stand still.
I have undone the front plate fascia screw by hand but I cant take the back plate off without unscrewing the grooved nut on the back. Is this normal or should I be able to pull the front plate away from the back plate without doing this. Also once the back and front plate are apart do I need to remove the three alan key fixings to get to the bearings and the central spindle to clean and lubricate, so making the centrepin run alot faster and smoother.
If anyone out there can of help, I would be very much obliged.
Many thanks
Nick J.
