I really want to service this reel, but I can not

[Naruto]

I really want to service this reel, but I can not figure out how to remove the rear drag cover to get the sideplate off. Does anyone have any advise please?

Pull the bottom drag knob off then the silver cover will see a small screw under the arm that gets tightened to your reel seat

Thanks for the info Roby.

Finally got it right. Made a little bracket to screw the drag cover (which is in three parts) open.
