Used it on unshielded bearings last night - worked like a charm but what to do with the excess grease that remains in the cup after you take out the bearing and replace the cone?

not so convinced on how to feel confident that the shielded bearings have the new grease but i will knock it up to inexperience ;)

Daron you will clearly see grease oozing out of the shields on the down side of the bearing once fully packed.  You can use the excess grease for greasing screws, gears, and the like.. or leave it be for the next bearings.  You may want the larger delron bearing Packers for these  larger offshore trolling reels of yours.
Hope springs eternal
for the consumate fishermen.

Good afternoon Mr. Alan Tani
Are there any of these kit left?  If so what is the price. ?

I scrape out the grease and put it in a little plastic container and use it for lightly greasing other parts of the reel.  A thin coat with a toothbrush etc.  I don't remove it until I have packed all the bearing I plan to for the day.  Only reason I remove it is to make storing until next time easier and cleaner.  I can definitely see the grease come around the shield on the back side so I know I got grease behind the seal. I was skeptical at first but am a true believer now, much faster for me.  Because I deep drop or troll when fishing in the salt of Alaska I grease all bearing including spool.  Still get decent/some free spin but hopefully more protection.  I only service a few times a year.  Ken

Hi Alan

Wondering if one of these sets can be sent to New Zealand and how much postage is likely to be.
