I took some reels apart today and I gave my new tool a try on some of the bearings.  I have seen guys remove the shield on a pre-set bearing with a punch and a hammer; I tried it with this tool and it was a breeze.  I thought I'd share it, for what it's worth.

Here I'm removing the shield on bearings with the plastic racers.
With a little patience you ould take the ball bearings completely apart, clean them individually and put back in




and reassemble after a good cleaning


as you could see, this is very much duable, you just need to make sure none of the balls get away
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I hold the bearing in the cutter section of Needle Nose Pliers. The Bearings don't & can't slip out. No holes in my fingers.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
