Are ice reels really needed?

Kentofnsl, you might be able to wipe some of the grease but it is not very easy. You are alot better off using a contact cleaner but nothing that is real bad like carb cleaner. What really works pretty good is WD-40. It will more than likely clean all the old grease out nicely. There are sometimes little springs and gears that are just sitting in there so be carefull not to invert the half that houses all the parts. You might end up with them on the table wondering how they go back. If it sounds like I am speaking from experience, your right.......Fishon
