Ok , I'm a idiot !! :doh:
I thought the extra bearing was on top of the AR bearing like a fuego , tat , curado k , etc..the bearing they added , replaces the blue bushing on the original slx , underneath the main shaft. lol
Oh well , I'm still not disappointed , if it holds up like a E-series I'll be more than happy !

Shimano part number for that small bearing underneath the main shaft is BNT0031, according to the schematics ,it's a 5x9x3 mm.

I hear all of the time on these forums , " the side plate is hard to get off "...well , I'm glad to see Shimano is adding a bit of instruction these days.
This paper was in the box. Doesn't necessarily mean ppl will see it though. :roll:

Probably the best upgrade you can do to this reel...made one heck of a difference.

Mostly. 2 in each knob, 1 in the end of the crankshaft, and 1 in the levelwind.
