Removing Kingpin Spool?

[Who Da Man]

I tried to remove my kingpin's spool today to wipe behind the backplate but after I loosened the allen key screw and removed the backplate bolt I could'nt pull the spool off.

 

I didn't try to pull too hard to avoid damaging it, but I was curious if anyone else has had this issue or if I am doing something wrong.

 

The reel is the newer 4 7/8" model that came with the allen key screw so the bolt can't loosen itself from the backplat thread.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I know a Kingpin Pro Staffer, if you send me a pm with your email addy I can pass it on to him. I'm sure he'll gladly help you out.
