On the P/Q, the Carblite, Patriarchs I would replace all 3 bearings, On the left side plate there is a 3x10x4, on the left side of the spool there is a 5x11x4, and on the right side plate there is a small bearing that bearing touches the spool only under load and it is a 3x8x4. On P/Q reels that I tune I pull the shields off the stock bearings and U-Sonic clean them in ACETONE and lube with TSI 301. Ceramics will only be better if U are only pitching 1/4 oz baits. With the TSI 301 lube, the bearings stay lube for a good month before U have to relube, as with Ceramics if U use Rem oil, Friction Zero, Met oil, U will have relube every 2-3 days. Plus the stock S.S. bearings make not noise like the ceramics do.

Tks a lot Richard....

So if I need to replace the 3 bearings i think its too expensive for a $99 reel. I use it only for deep divers and maybe the performance gain didn't worth the $50 inversion... i will try only flushing the bearings and a internal polish

If U are only using it for deep divers then flush the stock bearings relube with a light oil and polish the inside of the pinion gear and the spool shaft and U are good to go.
