Need help putting back together this alphas!
Hi all
Recently my alphas SV felt a little dry so I took it apart to oil. All was fine until I got to putting the drag/handle assembly back together . I made sure to place all the parts in order so I knew how to put it together but silly me ended up with a small gold nut which I don't know where it goes. I presume it's part of the drag assembly as the drag does not work without it but I still cannot work out where it goes. I can't even see it on the schematics. Anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance, tim

Would this be a hex nut? The one that should be tucked inside the drag star?

I dont think the SV105 has a separate nut and star. All 3 that I've owned have the same star as the SS SV, only painted to match the reel.LgMouthGambler wrote:Would this be a hex nut? The one that should be tucked inside the drag star?
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Need help putting back together this alphas!
A pic of the part would be helpful. There is an article at Tackle Tour on the maintenance of a daiwa sol with pics. http://www.tackletour.com/articlereelma ... tdsol.html Or you could download a reel schematic for that reel.
Thanks for the epiphany captain obvious

It’s not separate like some of the Daiwa reels that utilize the square nut/spring combo like on a Shimano, but it has a gold hex nut that clips into the drag star. It can be removed and it sounds like what the op has done.hoohoorjoo wrote:I dont think the SV105 has a separate nut and star.

This exactly. The only reason why it struck a chord is because I just finished modifying a SV105 star to work on my 04Pixy YellowRippin-lips wrote:It’s not separate like some of the Daiwa reels that utilize the square nut/spring combo like on a Shimano, but it has a gold hex nut that clips into the drag star.

To the OP- if that's what you've done, I hope you were careful. I've broken a couple of those cheap plastic drag star(the tines in the center of the star that hold the nut in place). Those things are fragile, to say the least.
