The most comprehensive look I’ve seen on the ci4 A/R. I’ve been dreading having to tear into mine but after viewing this video, I’m game. Appreciate ALL of your high quality and user friendly videos!

I value your excellent video. I was able to repair my Sienna 2500 FD anti-reverse with your video quickly. Other videos avoided the complicated Shimano clutch system due to the complexity. Thank you for your assistance..

I’ve just serviced my Stradic 1000 20 years old, it’s perfect now the super stopper was slipping I disassembled it but there was no need you only need to take the longer screws out and steep the whole unit in alcohol, cheers

I have a Sustain 2000fb, and the super stopper just quit working. I'd tried to repair it using another video on the topic, but couldn't. Your video was a BIG help, and I'm back after the fish. Great video. Thank you!

Just saved my life. Had broken side cover and had to replace when reverse gear fell apart as I took it off. Luckily I managed to find all the parts but had no idea until I watched this. You need to make sure all the springs are perfectly positioned otherwise it won’t work properly. As the rollers won’t close properly.

Just wanted to take a moment and say a big thank you for making this video. It really helped me to repair the can-of-worms that was my Shimano Sedona. Your video helped extremely, even though my reel does not have the Super Stopper Anti-Reverse (the bearing housing is comparable though. It fixed my extremely frustrating anti-reverse problem! Your video was extremely detailed and very helpful. Thanks again!

This video was a life saver! I broke down my Stradic ci4 2500F and was not sure how to properly install all the parts!

Thank you!

Great video! It did help me reassemble the anti reverse. I did remove all of the lubrication and reassemble the reel. But the anti reverse clutch still not functioning. Will have to reassemble and recheck every thing. Thanks for posting.

I really appreciated it (PS: im a moron a greased the anti reverse springs/rollers, its doing ok, ive not used it extensively yet) But my anti reverse is working!!! Amazing! 😊😘

This vids a life saver. Tore down my shimano symetre 4000, passed down reel from my gramps. Its the 2004 model and it is still quite smooth, but i wanted to put some corrosion x around the sideplates etc. For surf fishing. I tore it down and noticed a lot of dirty grease and water got into the super stopper. Took it apart and aimlessly put it back together to end up with a disfunctioning anti reverse! Was about to part it until i saw this vid... great content for any shimano fanboy!
