bocabearings.com might have list, as well as dawn at smoothdrag.com.  if not, you'll have to order bearings from shimano.  i don't know of anyone else, myself included, that has actually taken the time to make up a comprehensive list.  would have been nice to do, though.  alan

Are you replacing JUST the spool bearings??  Or all the bearings in the reel??

If just Spool Bearings 3x10x4 mm  is the 'most common' in all Shimano's to 700 size....

Dawn at Smoothdrags.com can tell you by reel model whats needed.  She knows her bearings & drag washers..............
