Reversing an Allen Kraken V reel from L to R

[Cabezon]

Hi folks, I purchased a Kraken V reel a few years ago as an albacore backup, but I never reversed it from left-hand retrieve to right-hand retrieve. I want to bring this reel as back-up on a striped marlin trip in two weeks and so I would like to reverse the retrieve finally. I can't find specific instructions online. In the only video on YouTube that appears to cover this process, the spool (blue structure in picture)

is quite a bit different from mine. For example, the YouTube version has a knurled knob at the base of the blue spindle that you can turn to loosen the spindle. This allows you to access the bearing which you need to flip to reverse direction. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to help but I haven't touched one of these in over a decade and it looks like it may have changed a bit.

Probably not a lot of help but I am wondering if the little hole in the side of the green base that the blue spindle is inserted into plays a role in the process?

There is a tiny hole on either side of the green base. But there isn't a screw or anything like that inside the tiny hole.

Alas, that is the video that I found. But the spindle on my version of the Kraken V is different (green base is larger and the blue removable section is smaller on mine). Mine doesn't have the knurled ring that helps hold the assembly in place. I have tried to put a wrench to unscrew the blue section but it didn't appear to do anything but scratch up the finish...
