Hello Alan,
I see that you grease the drive shaft bearing on the handle side of the reel that is right next to the ARB.
On the other tutorial, the person cleaned the grease out the drive shaft bearing and used a light corrosion X oil.
For this drive shaft bearing....Is it better to use grease? or corrosion X oil?

Aloha Franky,
I pack that bearing with grease. That bearing gets a lot of exposure to the elements even with that micro-thin shield that is provided next to the bearing. I pack that with grease and clean off all of the excess so that nothing gets pushed into the anti-reverse bearing.

If the reel is important to you, it's worth fixing.
If the reel catches fish, it's worth fixing.
And that is why we enjoy working on reels so much...it means something to someone.

x2 on Bryan's post - those bearings take a hammering from the elements.
Cheers, Justin

Aloha Franky,
Do you have a bearing packer? I'll call you later.

I'll see if we can post a video of how these work and will also have some when I'm in Hawaii in March.

I personally would take them off, but if you have issues casting like I do, and of I was smart, I'd leave them on so I would reduce my back lash.

Bula gang.... This is regarding a Trinidad 50 ... ( double dogs in this one) that needs to be back on the boat in 2 days and no time to order up carbontex this time around.... but will get around to it on the next go. Do you grease the stock Dartanium ( seem like plastic to me ) drag washers??  i' would assume yes, but thought i'd check in anywayz... Thanks Erik |

Thanks Erik Bula Erik, The stock Dartanium drags are normally greased with Shimano Drag Grease. so the answer is YES. Watch out, they break very easily. Bryan |

Bryan / Alan, you mention greasing with Shimano Drag Grease. Is this a Graphite Grease? I have learnt that Cals (Carbontex grease) will not 'work' with Dartanium washers! Correct me if wrong, is Graphite Grease not the same as universal joint (CV) grease? Why...I serviced my Shimano DC30 and found the 'blackness' associated with graphite grease present on the drag washers. I have and am still battling to make sure that graphite grease is the same as CV Joint grease. However I have replaced the washers with Carbontex and Cals grease smeared on them bar one (the lowest washer, which is Daratanium) Drag works fine, I have not measured its power. Thanks for your input guys. |

Thanks for your input guys. The "blackness" from the old Dartanium drag washers is the drag washer material mixed with grease. Drag grease should be high temperature teflon based. I've used Cal's on Dartanium (not Dartanium II CF washers) for years with no issues. |
