Shimano Conquest 401 spool removal

[paulito]

Hello All,

I just received a Shimano Conquest 401 from JapanLureShop. I was trying to figure out how to remove the spool, but am stuck! From what I read from the 200 size, there is a latch inside the SVS brake compartment, where I can flip the latch and the spool will come out. I do not have this latch I do not know if the 401 is any different, so for all you JDM Conquest owners, please help me out.

If the picture is too small, please tell me so I can email you a larger photo. My 2mb photo was too large so I had to resize >.<

Edit* there is no latch for the 400, you have to unscrew the thing off.

guessing the original calcutta's remove the two screws? Will the conquest be the same?

Yeah you do, didn't realize yours was a 400 and had brain fart.

Thank you got it sorted out!

Hi, I have the same issue. I had searched online extensively but unable to find a definite solution. I don’t know how to remove the spool from the Conquest 401. I see only 1 screw, do I just unscrew it to remove the spool? Thanks!

If I remember right, the non-disengaging level wind reels requires the removal of the handle side plate to actually remove the spool.

The palming side plate is mere access to the brakes.
