Answer 1

Unscrew the cover at the front of the reel, thread the new line through the hole in the cover, tie the line on the spool, (you may have to press on the button on the back of the reel, that you depress for casting, to make the spool open up so you can get the line around it), put the cover back on, wind some line on, remove the cover to see how much line you have on....take care not to over fill it....continue with putting the cover on, adding more line, taking the cover off and inspecting, until you have enough line on.  If the line is rubbing on any part of the spool, as you turn the handle, you have too much line on.  Just remove a few yards at a time till it quits rubbing.
