Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
Hey guys,
I just picked up a Daiwa Tatula sv casting reel. I own mostly Shimano reels, not much experience with Daiwa. Anyway, I wanted to remove the spool bearings, clean them, and lightly oil them. My question is, to get the bearing out of the handle sideplate, do I have to remove the sideplate? I took the cast control cap off and it looks like it's sealed, except for a hole where the spool shaft comes through. Schematics appears to show the bearing is inside the sideplate. Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Christian

Re: Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
Christian, you indeed do have to remove the side plate to access the spool bearing on that side.

Okay, thank you, that seems pretty inconvenient, no wonder my Daiwa friends prefer the free floating spool.PikeRoadBassn wrote:Christian, you indeed do have to remove the side plate to access the spool bearing on that side.

How would you put a drop of oil on your spool bearing during regular maintenance? Take the side plate off everything time you want to put a drop of oil on it?

Just under do the cast control friction cap, that gives you direct access to the bearing.chreim20 wrote:How would you put a drop of oil on your spool bearing during regular maintenance? Take the side plate off everything time you want to put a drop of oil on it?
After the first service pop the outer facing shield so that you can see the bearing cage inside, makes adding oil to the balls much more efficient and accurate.
Re: Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
Yeah, I know the cast control gives you access to the bearing on my Shimano reels, but not the Daiwa, it's covered with a black plastic shield with a hole in the middle for the spool shaft. So your saying that black shield can be removed so the bearing is exposed for easy oiling just by removing the cast control cap?Slazmo wrote:Just under do the cast control friction cap, that gives you direct access to the bearing.chreim20 wrote:How would you put a drop of oil on your spool bearing during regular maintenance?

take the cap off and look , you can easily get a drop of oil in the race of the bearing.chreim20 wrote:Yeah, I know the cast control gives you access to the bearing on my Shimano reels, but not the Daiwa, it's covered with a black plastic shield with a hole in the middle for the spool shaft.

these little needle tipped bottles help , if you really want to pump it in.

Thanks, I appreciate the info, going to buy one now!
Re: Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
If it's like the Type R CT the bearing has a pressed in retainer holding the bearing in the side plate, it's a pretty crappy design... Daiwa used the cheapest route possible.

Re: Daiwa Tatula SV spool bearing access
Those wonky bearing retainers are my only complaint with the Tatulas since the CT. The SV also uses them. I got a couple of the older style retainers from Tackle Trap to see if they’d fit, but no dice.
One other thing of note with the Tatula SV is that they seem to come relatively dry of oil and grease. I put HH ZR bearings in one of mine and noticed the main gear and pinion didn’t have much lubricant, so I added just a little.
