IceSkimmer.com >> Tip-Down FAQ >> Removing the Reel Removing the Reel from an Innovative Tip-Down In the event that you need to remove the reel from your tip-down you can do so by the following process. Take a look at the picture to the right. You will see what appears to be a plastic bolt through the reel with a notch for a screwdriver head. This notch is IS NOT for a screwdriver head. It is actually a gap in the plastic bolt so you can squeeze both sides together and pull it out. The bolt is attached to the reel handle on the opposite side. It is all one piece. Using your fingers or a small pair of needlenose pliers, grip the sides of the bolt and pinch towards the gap while also pushing toward the handle side. This takes the oval bolt end and makes it round, which allows it to slide back through the reel. The reel handle should then pop out on the opposite side with the bolt attached to it. To put the reel back on, simply line it up with the hole in the reel and slide the handle back through. It will pinch together securely in place.
