I'm tearing down my Shimano Curado CU-300DSV.  This (according to the sideplate) is a 6 bearing reel (5 ball bearings + 1 roller clutch bearing).  After studying the reel and the schematic I have only found 4 of the 6. 
The ones I found are: 2 - 194, 1 - 2192 and 1 - 2396.  So where are the other 2 bearings? ???  The only other place I think they may be is in the handle paddles.  But, they're are (as far as I can tell) inaccessible.

If you can help out, please go here http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/customer_service0/Reel_Schematics.html
Select: Discontinued
  Then: Low-Profile Baitcasting
    Then:  Curado
      Then:  CU300DSV

Thanks,

Hi Bob,

The other 2 bearings are in the handle, and are accessible. Remove the 2 caps from the paddle grips and there should be a phillips head screw. If I remember this is a left hand thread, so be sure to check.

Bearings are at the bottom of the handle post.

Cheers,

Terry.

OK.  Thanks.  That's what I figured.  I'm curious as to why they don't show them on the schematic.

Probably because you can't purchase them seperately from the handle assembly

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.
