Title: Shimano torsa 40 Bearing Help
Post by: Pezcarrete Reparaciones on April 23, 2021, 02:08:47 PM
Hello

I'm repairing a very abused Shimano Torsa 40.
All the bearings will be changed.
Unfortunately the one way bearing is in very bad shape It came apart,  this part is not numbered in the schematic.
Can anyone help me with the pat number?

what is the height in mm?  if the height is 12mm, then you likely have an EWC 1012..

Thank you Alan

I really appreciate the help with the torsa 40 bearing problem l!!!

And thank you again for this amazing forum that is lots of help for many reels.

I'm starting to think this is not a one way bearing but only a needle roller bearing since the reel has a dog anti reverse system.
Could that be the case?

I just found an awesome  bearing supplier on the web (Plaig Bearings) it has the Torsa 40 schematic with all the bearings marked.

Including the one is not marked by Shimano.

The bearing is according to the site is  BNT2949.

All feedback is appreciated.

It is definitely a one way roller bearing with a leaf spring dog back up.

Thank you for the anti-reverse clarification

Now I'm in need of a new power handle for the same reel P/N TGT1207

But It seems to be discontinued.

Can anyone point to where I can  get a economic replacement option

Well the bearing that the Plaig bearings webpages affirms to be the correct one ( BNT2949) is incorrect, I will fiit and probably it will work but it is way shorter than the torsa 40 original.
I will be trying the one you told me Alan(EWC 1012) .

thanks again

Hi

the EWC 1012 is the right size but the "teeth"  are to wide for the side plate

other suggestions?
