Thanks, I'll send it in.

Let the suits know that a sacrificial plastic trim piece should not be designed as a frame component. That seems wasteful.

So, like an idiot, I forgot to go lefty-tighty on my CUDC151HG. Ended up scratching the handle, and dropped and the plastic top cover on the frame (above the level wind) cracked.

I don't know where to get parts to fix this. Can you help?

Installed the new sideplate, replaced all bearings, and replaced the gears. Smooth as silk - thanks!

Thanks.

OK, assuming I get the right tools, I expect that I can get the pin out, but what size bearing sits on the BNT1507?

If you have any notes on the best tool to remove and replace the pin, that would help too.

Got the lefty 151 HG in the mail today. Neat reel, cannot wait to get it on the water. I've been fishing with spinning reels mostly for the last two years because I like them in the yak. I can't believe how much more natural the left hand retrieve feels. I guess I'm going to have to by five more lef...

Wow, this kind of makes the effort I’ve put in worthwhile. Thank you sir, message sent!

To note, I'm probably going to source a side plate with the newer style ARB carrier and see if that will work. I expect the main drive gear shaft length will not be an issue, but I've already sourced the replacement bearing so, it's a backup if I upgrading the carrier doesn't work. Will have to do s...

Here you go. Yep, I have verified in quite a few images that this version of the clutch is common in the Calais 200 series once I got further into it. Then, there's a second version that fits your "normal" Shimano clutches where the bearing carrier is shaped to fit the clutch you're used t...

Ok, got the bearing out. It is 12 mm x 10 mm x 14 mm. Found the bearing using markings. It is an NTN HF 1012. It is perfectly cylindrical on the outside and fits in an aluminum carrier in the side plate that itself is perfectly cylindrical and is 14mm in diameter. There is no way that the Shimano be...

That ebay post has the wrong bearing for this reel. Yours sounds like it does too. The replacement part number is BNT2925, and it will fit. They might not look alike, yet they work. The newer part is anti-rust. Would be surprised if your reel does not accept this roller bearing. Terry, The reel has...

The schematics I've seen show the 1207 ARB (which has a replacement part #) as the ARB that comes with the CL200. This might be true for some, but mine has a round metal sleeve pressed into the side plate that will never fit the 1207 or its replacement. What was the part number for the original. Min...

I just ordered my lefty online. This will be my first new baitcaster, ever! All of my others are hand-me-downs or used purchases that I have refurbished. Not to say I have bad gear, I've got several early Chronarchs Curados, Calcuttas and even a Calais CL200 that are all in very good condition, but ...
