Reel Assembly Inspection
1. Inspect reel bearings to insure that they spin freely
and have minimal axial play.
2. Inspect the reel shaft as follows. If reel damage is de-
tected, replace r eel.
A. Check the reel shaft for bending and distortion by
placing the shaft ends in V--blocks.
B. Check the reel blades for bending or cracking.
C. Check the service limit of the reel diameter (see
Preparing a Reel for Grinding in this section).
3. Check the threaded inserts in the reel shaft for ex-
cessive wear or distortion. Replace inserts if damage is
evident.
A. One insert has LH threads and the other insert
has RH threads. The insert with LH threads has a
groove on the insert face. A groove is cut in the end
of the reel shaft that has LH threads.
B. Use correct spline insert tool to remove threaded
inserts (see Special Tools in this chapter).
