Title: odd bearing size?
Post by: Crow on December 02, 2024, 11:01:01 PM
  I'm repairing a Daiwa Samurai 7-i reel....3500 size...and need two bearings. Usually, I can source the bearings I need, by size, from either eBay, or Amazon, but I can't locate this size:  10 mm X 19 mm X 3 mm.
I did a little looking..online..at a place that sell Daiwa parts, and the info said these were "obsolete, and out of stock". So, does anybody have a good idea where I might find two of these? Stainless would be best (the originals were pretty rusty), and, the "cheaper the better"...it's not a "high dollar reel" (used, on eBay fun $35-$40), so I don't want to tie up much$$.. Thanks!!

That is really thin.  Three millimeters thick does seems weird for 19 mm O.D.

i have 10x15x3 and 10x19x5.  i did a check and could not find 10x19x3 at all.  any chance that this is worth double checking the size?

Yeah I found it on line but 5 thick. Maybe it will fit if there is room?

     I found several that were 5 mm thick, as well, and, I did "recheck".....and, I'll admit I'm old.and confuse easily, but....I'm sticking with the 3mm thickness. I'll try to post a pic, later. I found a parts schematic, and the bearings (worm gear support) are  listed as different part #'s, but appear the same, to me. I'm going to check, with Diawa, on price/availability, but, I had an "offer" to buy a reel....new.....for $26, + $8 for shipping, so I'm thinking that's what's going to happen. I actually have 3 of these reels, and use them quite a bit when we are down here (they don't like sand , very much, so they are my pier/ boat reels), and this one....didn't get stored away like it should have! My bad!! It got wet/drew moisture during storage, and the box turned to "mush", the paint "bubbled up", the "blue grease" turned white, and two of the 7 bearings rusted!
