Title: Penn Spinfisher 7500/8500 SSV Bearing measurement is rare!
Post by: TheReelShop on April 17, 2019, 09:43:47 PM
Good Afternoon to ALL today!

I am servicing a customers 7500 and 8500 SSV.

The pinion bearings have what I must call a very rare rest of measurements.

I am getting OD 18mm, ID 10mm, Width 5mm

its the width measurement thats a pain.

I went to my local bearing store, and they can't find it. BOCA doesn't have it either and another bearing place. I can buy from PENN but I usually get good prices at the local store. This is really odd coming from a PENN Reel.

Any tips or advice?

You sourced them from Penn or your bearing store?

Yea I don't get that. I ended up ordering from mystic parts which is fine, but usually my local bearing supplier carries my bearing needs. This was an experience.
