    Immediately I found out that this Daiwa Millionaires Proteus 300 was in really poor condition due to lack of maintenance. First off the turning knob for the Star Drag System was stiff and the threads on the Drive Shaft was covered with dirt. When it was removed there's only two spring washers found which I suspected some were missing, the spring washer act as some kind of tensioner for the Star Drag System and it should have more than two pieces. On top of that they were cover with dirty grease which was not helping in terms of reducing friction. 

    As I moved on further to remove the Main Gear Housing I could feel there was some resistance in between the reel frame and the main gear housing, it could be the Cast Control Bearing which holds the Spool Shaft had jammed. It was quite shock to see the internal body of the frame was corroded and the chrome coating was fading. I couldn't do much onto it as I do not have a metal plating equipment.

    I moved on to the Side Plate and on the first inspection the exterior was defaced, dents and scratches were found everywhere. I can only said this, this reel has suffered a lot! There is these three screws that holds the side plate and once it was removed the side plate can be pop out. This side here contains the Clicker Assembly and we have to be careful not to loose the spring inside, slowly removing the side plate and it revealed the secret.

    This design of this part is quite different from my Abu Garcia, it took me a while to study the lay out before I started dismantling it. The Clicker or Alarm Assembly was attached onto a plastic material plate that sits on the frame, this plastic material plate is also holding up the Spool Bearing and it also hold the End Cap. I removed the whole assembly and unscrew the End Cap. there is a rounded Brass Shim which the Spool Shaft will be pushed against it. I did some polishing onto the Brass Shim with the Fine Grit Sandpaper and some metal polisher, the Autosol.

    Coming up in Part 3 more serious cleaning jobs were done and I did the Ultimate Bearing Services, stay tuned!
