Hello all,
I was wondering if everyone here was removing their shields on their spool bearings and if so, would you remove the rubber shields as well? I just purchased these and wondering if I should leave the rubber shields off or not.

Depends. If you are packing with grease, then I leave them in. If they are spool bearings, then I leave them open. I take them out with a dental pick or sharp hook.

If you use his link & read the cut sheet in it it say leave dry. That's what the LD in the Bearing Part Number means.

For a trolling or bottom fishing reel I pack them with grease and put the shields back on, for flylining  small live bait and casting I remove the inter shields and oil the bearings.

Thanks all. I will be fly lining so I will leave the shields off and put some tsi on them. What does everyone do with all their leftover bearing shields? Maybe we can make something out of them.

Instead of a Charm Bracelet for the wife we can hang the Bearing Shieds.

I think it means that it is dry but does that mean you're suppose to leave it dry? I put them with some TSI on them in my reels tonight and they work pretty well.

this is what the link says
"LD = Lube Dry Bearings have been clean and are free of all grease and Oils"
