For a spool pin removal tool. I bent three pins trying to remove them from Lews reels using a tool like a four way tire iron.
Works good on my other reels. Any help would be appreciated .

I had several lews super duty reels that I ran into the same thing. After messing up 2 boca pliers and bending the hedgehog tool I ended up contacting lews and getting new spools. I had no problem removing the spool pins in the new spools. Still not sure what caused this but I haven't had any issues since. The hedgehog tool has been the best that I have found when dealing with spool pins.
Tapered pins?
Wash your hands and say your prayers, cause Jesus and germs are everywhere.

I had to get three new spools and am aware one end is tapered.
Yes the pins are tapered. The ones I had trouble with had never been removed. Whatever the problem was with the pins it was like that when I purchased them.
