Hey Dave:
Thanks a million. This worked like a charm. Once apart it was (of course) simple to see how they (Shakespeare) put this reel together. This is probably the 100th plus spin casting reel I've owned over the years and I had never come across something as tightly attached as this one was. The locking mechanism is also a little unusual in that on most spin cast reels the front cover actually screws off and is threaded on the cover and the middle section. Anyway, the cover is off, the new line is on and my daughter is ready to fish again.
Thanks again,
Steve
