record no. 60

The spool ARB locks to spool shaft with outgoing rotation which makes the "fine adjust" bearing cap functional against spool shaft and spool for lure weight adjustment. On retrieval the spool ARB "unlocks" allowing retrieve without having to crank against "extra" tension of the "fine" adjust....spool rotates freely on shaft. Interesting engineering solution to a minor extra retrieve cranking resistance....I would imagine it may be more noticeable with heavier lures and settings of the "fine adjust" bearing cap.

Currently awaiting ABEC 7 Bearings for Abu Garcia Record 60. I am not sure how you go about removing the center braking piece from the spool.

Has anyone changed out the bearings on this reel before?

Hi, Unsure why you want to remove the one way clutch needle bearing in the spool....That's what takes the Record into the bearings in the side plates. If you remove the one way, you no longer have a record.
