Well, once the dial cord comes off, might rough up the shaft where it winds aroundwith a little fine sandpaper. A tiny bit of grease on any pulley bearings along the trail aso helps. Probably should replace the cord if you remove it. Take pictures, make drawings, so you know how to get it back. Many use braided nylon fishing tackle line but you can buy "real" dial cord too.
