Title: TranX 500HG handle bearing size
Post by: thedonnguyen on September 16, 2018, 12:27:20 AM
bought a tranx 500hg used, everything works well except i've got crunchy handle bearings...looking to upgrade them but could not find what size they are. Any help would be appreciated.

I am not able to check if this is correct at the moment;
BNT4194   Ball Bearing   Handle inner and drive shaft         5 X 9 X 3

They are easy enough to remove them and measure?

Those bearings must be used across a bunch of reels.  I put black Stella 14K handle knobs on both of my TranX 500 HG and just moved the bearings from the old to the new.
