Ok , I'm a idiot !!
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.

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.
