Shimano Antares 221 Roller Clutch HELP!

[greatbarracuda]

Hey gang,

After much frustration, finally was able to access the insides of this tank in order to replace what I think is a faulty roller bearing (anti rev slips regularly). Problem is, I don’t know how to get the old bearing out now! Can anyone give some advice? Pics attached..

A press and the right size socket will work. Slow and steady wins the race.

Thanks! Might be a silly question but does it push into the reel or out of the reel?

It needs to be pressed in towards the inside. There is a bearing holder that will probably press out with the pressure, and then you will need to have this supported to press the bearing out. If that makes sense. I have highlighted the holder in your picture.

Cheers.

Terry.

Most of the time replacement is not necessary.

Sometimes lubricants migrate and can prevent proper operation of AR bearings. We see it in the shop every day.

On my bench I would rehab the bearing in the side plate first before making a decision to replace it.

Unless that is a factory flawed bearing in some way or broken, it should work for many years without issue with proper lubrication and care.

I'll send you a PM on it...
