Hi Rosco, and a warm welcome to the forum. It's great to have another SB45 owner on board. grin

Glad to know that you got the reel and soleplate/bedknife reinstalled and adjusted correctly. It is a good thing that you replaced the reel bearings....you now know their history and the reel will run true. wink
Looking forward to seeing the pics of your Scotty.
Once again Rosco, :welcome: to OutdoorKing!
