This was a fairly simple repair. You only need to use a phillips screw driver to remove the broken part. You do need to be careful when removing it because there is a spring underneath the arm that will pop out. When you replace the arm there is a tab on the end of the spring that needs to fit in a hole on the underside of the arm. It is a little bit tricky to get this lined up correctly.

First off, I wanted to give a Huge shoutout to you guys for sending me the exact/correct part (bail arm) and also for how fast I received it. It said 4-6 days I think but it was there on the 3rd day maybe? but..Cool! Exact part!!
Next, I tried doing the repair myself but wasn't having much luck as I needed tools and seemingly a 3rd hand? lol, that I didn't have with me at the moment. We were leaving for a camping trip, I needed my reel, but other things needed my attention so I brought it to my local bait n tackle (Mom n Pop store, been there forever, love em) Conroy's Bait and Tackle in Watervliet NY (plug intended lol) He took it, said, "yeah let me tinker with it". I left and he called me back around 2 hours later saying it was fixed! (wow, soo fast). Picked it up the next day, worked perfectly! I thanked him profusely, told the older man how awesome he was and asked how much it cost. He said, "ehh give me 3 dollars"...I said, here's 20, and TY my friend!
Thanks soo much to all you guys, that exact part made my weekend!!
