Part II Re-assembling the Mitchell 410 Fast Retrieve Spinning Reel

Avian Fish Reassembles the Mitchell 410 with grease and lubricants.

There are three types of reel lubes oils, greases, and protectants.
Oil - Sleeve bearings, sliding mechanisms, and rolling element bearings.
Use light machine oil or sewing machine oil or formulated reel oil.
Do not use oils that contain additives such TFE. They often harden and solidify.
Grease – Gears should be lubricated with grease.
Greases are made from oil and soap. The soap holds the oil where it is needed. The oil does the lubricating, we would want a grease that would hold the highest percentage of oil possible, per ml of grease.
Also we would need low separation rates of the oil from the soap. Good corrosion inhibiting properties. Water resistance. The ability of the grease to stay in place in the presence water. Some thermal stability also.

There is one type of grease that meets all of these requirements…. Aluminum Complex grease carries the highest percentage of oil per unit volume of any grease. It will not bleed out and that is why it is used in the food industry. It has excellent corrosion properties with respect to Aluminum, Bronze, and steel. It also has excellent thermal stability.

Facts of Grease :
Never mix types of grease(with different soaps), soaps will react and harden up or corrode the metal reel parts.
Don’t use Silicone grease or oil. Silicone's were developed for highly corrosive environments and DO NOT have the lubricating properties (film strength) of a PAO synthetic or even mineral oil.
Don’t use greases fortified with TFE. They are a waste of money and can cause gumming problems.

Corrosion Protectants.
Everyone knows about WD-40. But it dries up after a period of time.
There are better designed products.
“CorrosionX” or “ReelX” These products are similar to WD-40 but have very low VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and will virtually never dry up. “Real Magic” works very well on the exterior surfaces of fishing reels. It dries with a protective film.
