Daiwa Spool bearing removal

Post by termigator » Mon Feb 05, 2007 3:54 pm

How do you remove the bearing on a Daiwa spool? I read the thread on the Revo spool bearing removal, but didn't really see how the pin was removed nor do I know where I can get a pin removal tool.
Also, does anyone know the dimensions of the spool bearings on an Alphas 103 and 153HST?

term,
You can make a set of pliers to remove the pin:

If you try to use anyting else like regular pliers, etc. you run the risk of catching the edge of the spool or tip of the spool and damaging it.

Thanks for the info. It helped a great deal. How do I know which side the pin should come out of? I checked my 153HST and the pin looks about the same size on both ends.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if they make ABEC-7 bearings for the 5x11x4? I was able to get an ABEC-7 bearing for the 3x10x4 because it's the same size in an Abu 7000. Why they have ABEC-7 bearings for most Abu's but so few Daiwa's, I'll never know. :(
