Also how much grease should be put on the teeth of the big brass pinion gear?

Very light coating with a small paint brush( artist brush). It also depends on what you grease them with. I used to cut the Shimano drag grease down a bit with mineral oil for the gears. Either way, can you actually reel in as fast as you spin that handle to see how free it is? Also, take a look at where that main post "c" clips into the side frame. I've had that brass washer under it slip while I was getting it back on and it caused that clip to bind a bit. Made the handle turn slower cuz it put more pressure on the main post.. Hope this helps..Dip
