Title: PG CS 550 spool bearings
Post by: Dr. Jekyll - AKA MeL B on September 14, 2012, 01:51:08 PM
guys if you can provide me the bearing dimensions it will be greatly appreciated. i am thinking i need new bearings because there is a front-back-front play with the spool, especially the right side. i hope it's the bearings though. thanks!

Left- 0.125x0.375x0.155 inches

Right - 0.235x0.472x0.156 inches

Note, the right bearing was measured, but I cannot match it up with any bearings I have so I'm not absolutely sure.

One bearing is inch and the other is metric!

That is correct.  The right side bearing is standard and the left is Metric.  To make things clear, the measurements are:

Right Side - 6 x 12 x 4 mm

Left Side - 0.125 X 0.375 X 0.155 inches
