reel problem

As I recall the shaft on the 624 is integral with the spool so without
specialist tools it would be difficult to replace one without the other,
even then it would not be easy.

Most probable cause is that the clutch has either been put together
incorrectly, or the clutch plates have been contaminated with oil or
grease.

Hi, the old shaft was sent to me so i believe it was replaced, and in all
honesty i pulled in a very nice smoothound shortly afterwards with no probs,
so im unsure,

I do wd40 reels after use, could this have gone through to the internal
plates?

Whoops, theres your answer. Why WD, they only need a run under a gently
running cold tap. As you say theres not much adjustment so the clutch is as
new, strip it down & soak the friction & steel clutch washers in meths or
lighter fluid.
