I just bought a used Cabela’s CSR reel, and it is set up for right-handed retrieve. I have been fiddling with this thing for 30 minutes now and cannot figure out how to reverse it. It looks like I need to do a little prying with a screwdriver, but I don’t want to get too carried away. It’s so easy on my other reels, I’m afraid I’m just missing something. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Cabelas does.
Call them and ask for their fishin’ guy.
Don’t poke things with a screwdriver.
I have the instructions. Email me your address and I will send you a copy of the instructions.

Thanks for the help guys. I got it.
There is a “unidirectional” bushing inside this rascal that has to be flipped over. It requires much more disassembly of the reel than the other two reels I own. (It was an easy and obvious process with those other reels.) That bushing was gummed up on my reel and did not want to come out of its seat. I finally coaxed it out, flipped it over, and I’m good to go.
