Product Description
Hardy 1540727 Spindle Washer - Lightweight Series
Product Description
Ensure the smooth rotation and proper spacing of your classic reel with the Hardy 1540727 Spindle Washer. This genuine replacement component is designed for the internal assembly of the Hardy Lightweight series.
Located at the base of the spindle, this washer is critical for preventing friction between the spool and the reel frame or back plate. Over time, original washers can compress, crack, or become lost during maintenance, leading to spool wobble or uneven drag pressure. Installing a fresh spindle washer restores the tight factory tolerances and protects the alloy surfaces of your vintage or modern classic reel.

Maintenance Recommendation
The spindle is a high-friction area that requires consistent maintenance. We recommend applying Deuthlon Reel Oil or Grease to the spindle and washer during reassembly. Deuthlon's advanced formula is designed to adhere to internal components, providing superior protection against wear and water intrusion compared to standard lubricants.
