I just recieved a full set of bearings for my lx. I ordered them right form Avet. They were $25 for the set of 6 bearings. Don't know about the drag washer, it was glued in  I saw a post around were Alan re-glued one in. Is that the recommended method in a replacement? Don't know. Don't know what size it is either, sorry. Spes |

no, avet buys very inexpensive blue seal bearings that are $5 each. i generally will not use them because of quality issues. i ordered 20 bearings from them once. every one of them was bad. drag washers are fine, though. alan

i never wrote down the dimensions anywhere, either. if you can pull the bearing from your reels and measure them, i can match them up and ship them to you. otherwise i would be guessing. alan

As I said, I just purchased my LX bearings right from Avet. They were $25 for the full set.
I have them right here in my hand.
Alan, can these be measured with just a ruler? i.e. How precise does it have to be?
I can get a measuring tool from my dad's shop but it would probably be a week before I can get there to get it.

If I were you I'd just call avet!!! There email support is horrible, but I hear there good over the phone. I emailed them a month back looking for rod clamps and the tech couldn't even invoice me for a purchase. Also they don't take paypal. I love there reels but they need to step up there online support and purchasing. Good luck!!!
