Title: Shimano Bearing Dimentions
Post by: Keta on February 22, 2022, 06:40:15 PM
I have a Tekota TEK-600 that needs a bearing that Shitmano discontinued and need the dimensions.  It is a TGT487, the beating that is between the star and the AR bearing.

I have a personal Calcutta 401te, not a cheep reel,  that they no longer have parts for.  Piss poor support.  As of now I will never buy or recommend a Shimano reel to anyone.

My guess would be 8x12x3.5

But I would definitely wait for someone more knowledgeable to either confirm or deny that.  :)

they are commonly available.  if you can measure them out, i'm certain that i will have them in inventory.

The reel was in pieces when I got it and the bearing was missing.

ah, then measure the hole that it fits in and the shaft that it rides on.  there would likely only be a couple of possibilities for the height after that.  i'll just grab a couple of each and mail them up.

Shimano, yeah. If they have it and it's an inexpensive part, they'll give it to you free. But they change parts/model design and discontinue models so often
I don't think it's worth it anymore.

they used to send out small parts for free.  i've always ordered parts from them on line, so it always costs.
