I've serviced my charter special but the right side plate bearing still feels a little rough. It looks OK but I suspect there is some damage. Does anyone know the size of this bearing and where I can buy a replacement? The bearing is part 212 in the schematic.

Thanks in anticipation.

Benzeenees,

Can you measure the bearing in mm?  If you are in the US, you can get them from Smoothdrag, Boca Bearing, and a few others.  You could also call Shimano and if it's your first time calling them, they may send it to you for free.

I was just looking at http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=12.0 to see if Alan had noted the bearing size, and unfortuantely, I just cannot find it.

Bryan

Oh, and welcome.  Glad you are able to join us.

Thanks for the reply. I will measure the bearing, but I don't have anything accurate - just a steel rule! And I live inland in Australia near Canberra and the reel is at my coast house. I was hoping to buy a new bearing and install it next time I go fishing. But it's not urgent - the reel is a bit rough but still works fine.

thanks - and I've been able to locate a supplier in Canberra. It would appear that the Charter Special and the TLD25 are similar?

Close. The TLD15 and Charter Special are very similar, bar the obvious - levelwind etc. Right-side main bearing is the same for both.
All the best, Justin
