I wouldn'd advise banging rivetts in to a silex,if it has a serious wobble get it serviced. :)

Your in poco, so take the reel to Riverside Fly and Tackle. THey will get Jerry Wong to service it. He is an amazing machinist with the most amazing respect for detail. (best way to word what he can do). And he's very cheap.
