Your Shimano agent should know,otherwise strip the reels and measure the roller bearings.

The roller bearings are very,very hard to match.
I would strongly recommend you get them at Shimano..
This way you are sure to get the correct fit for the Reel, also it will fit the Sleeve/collar.

Or possibly "Boca Bearing".   
Boca is slowly trying to get most Factory Bearings made to correct sizes..
They may just have the right one..

i tried to look at the boca listing and smoothdrag listing, but unfortunately only 5x9x2 and 5x9x3 is available.

Are you talking about the "Anti Reverse" Roller Bearing...
5x9x3 sound very odd for a roller bearing = 3 mm thick????

Here is the Saragosa:

Note that part #5447 is the Roller Bearing assembly.
Part # 12064 is the Radial bearing that is associated with it...


Also, do you know the size of the bearing/bearings you need??

No Mate, You got it wrong ;D . it's the line roller bearing.. which smoothly guide Your line to the spool.

it has to be a standard, off the shelf, size.  no one would make a bearing for just this application.   :-\

The bearing you need is a standard "ball" bearing part # RD 11424 and not a "roller" bearing.
