I haven't found the measurements yet for the Zebco Cardinal 4 Bearing yet. I know it's the same size for C6/7.Is this bearing pressed on or will it just slide over
the pinion worm gear after the snap ring is removed? I have ordered bearings for other reels on Amazon by size number and you get more for your money plus enough to share. I have only done this on Penn 712 and DQ 265.It made a world of difference, just experimenting to see the results.

Haven't measured one, never felt the need to yet, but they remove easily. They pull right out of the pocket and slide right off the pinion. The toughest part is usually squeezing the retaining ring down enough to lift it out of the groove.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Pulled an old "4" out of the batcave just now.

Bearing just slides off.

Here are the measurements:

I never make the same mistake twice.

I make it 5 or 6 times, you know, just to be sure.
