Are the roller clutch bearings available for the core 51mg7?I went to the shimano website and it doesn't show the clutch bearing-do i have to purchase the whole side plate?

You don't have to buy the whole side plate. A BNT 2396 or BNT 2949 will work.

Just an update-both bearings BNT2949 and BNT2396 will work.I ordered both and the only difference i see is the color of the cage plastic-my reel is better than new now-i had to install some ceramic bearings while i was in there.Thank you again Steez_12

The difference is stainless vs. ARB rollers in the bearing. 2949 is the ARB version and what came stock in your reel.
