Restraining the Reel for Installing Threaded Inserts 1. Insert a long-handled pry bar (recommended 3/8 x 12 inches with a screwdriver handle) through the front of the cutting reel, closest to the side of the cutting unit that you will be torquing (Figure 31). 2. Place the pry bar against the weld side of the internal cutting reel reinforcement (Figure 31). Note: The pry bar should contact a blade at the front, the reel shaft, and a blade at the back of the back of the reel, locking it in place.
