Title: Shimano TEK 500 bearing sizes
Post by: retiredandfishing on June 24, 2023, 04:14:47 AM
Would anyone have the bearing sizes for the Right side spool bearing and for the anti reverse bearing for a TEK 500. 

Thanks, Steve

If you can give me the Shimano part no.s (BNT/TGT/RDXXXX) you need I have a cross reference chart from BOCA.  I can't find it on their site atm, but it might be there if you search.
cheers
Steve

Edit: found it!

Thanks for the info.  I found the anti reverse bearing size, but the R/S spool bearing does not have a part number.  It is included in the spool assembly.  Unfortunately the old bearing I took out is in pieces so I can't measure it.  Thanks.

Can you measure the spool shaft? Can you measure the diameter and height of the outside race if it's in pieces? If so you have the bearing dimensions.

Here is the parts list for BOCAs Tekota bearing "kit".  By a process of elimination I suspect it is a 6x12x4, which seems about right.

Measure the pieces of the old one and see if it concurs?
Measuring the spool shaft and the ID of the RHS frame hole will help confirm, and 4mm is a common width for a RH spool support brg.

Thanks for all the info.  it is 6X12X4.  The reel I received had no bearing just the inner race stuck to the drive shaft, looks like the customer may have had it apart.  I received another in the shop today and measured that. Made a note of it and ordered some. Thanks.
