my friend lost her shimano two weeks ago when she forgot to set the drag and over the pier it went......
a diver found it and it was returned to her...
she took it to a local bait shop and they are charging her 15 bucks per bearing...plus 25 for labor....
if i try to take this project on, is it only the bearing i would need to replace and clean®rease the inside?
how much would new bearings be?
any help would be great fellas
also i once heard shimano are lifetime warrenty???? any truth to this????
Where are you located? Shimano North America will repair/service the reel for $25, which I believe includes all necessary parts. Check their website for info.
yes i called and they said 25 includes new bearings and servicing, and if anything above the 25.00 fee needed repair they would contact me...
and it like 15 to ship im in florida..
have u ever used shimanos repair service??
I haven't used Shimano's reel service but in your case I would. Those bearings are no more than $6.00 each for ABEC 5 all SS. I buy them all the time at wholesale and will be glad to send you the correct ones for your reel. These are from Boca Bearings..
I'm in the Florida Panhandle and will do the same.
do u think this is all i need, would the saltwater destroy anything else??????
i plan on fully disassembling and oil and grease everything....plus new bearing...
i should be good after that right???
i thought the boca bearings were way more than that when i checked there website
You will never know until you open the reel so get at that first. I would assume the roller clutch will be rusted. the longer it sits the worse it will be. If your not getting inside the reel quick throw it back in come fresh water to lessen the rusting. The water will help keep the oxygen away..
