Shimano 2000gt Hand Swap?

[Redders]

Can anyone shed some light on how to change a a Moocher Plus 2000gt to left hand retrieve? Obviously need to swap the line guard and re-spool but struggling with changing the one way drag.
Thanks
Nick

These 2 pieces need to be flipped over opposite.

I think you have to change the position of the anti reverse pawl spring as well

I just did this on a couple this weekend. These guys have given you the basic info. Once you get it open it will be pretty obvious. Just spend a minute studying how the mechanism works before you touch anything, then flip it so it works the other direction. I managed to figure it out and I'm no rocket surgeon!

Yeah was easy - had found an instruction somewhere online and it only mentioned flipping the anti reverse ratchet which was what confused me.
