Abu Black Max 1600 round reel

[Hojo]

I would like to replace/upgrade the bearings - which boca bearing set to use? I can't seem to find any information on the size. Thanks in advance...

3x10x4.

Bronzeye thanks for the help! Another question: there are supposed to be 3 bearings - I can find the AR bearing and one spool bearing on the right side of the spool... Where the heck is the third? I can't tell where it is on the parts diagram and can't find anything that looks like a bearing inside the reel.

[Bronzeye]

Not sure. Is it inside the left side of the spool?

this is older ultracast design, both bearing are inside the spool. you need to remove the black bearing retainer on the left of the spool.

Thanks again everyone I was able to locate both spool bearings and remove them. Now I'm stuck on the anti-reverse - does the metal "sleeve" (perhaps called the outer race) come out of the reel or only the inner plastic which houses the pins? Are these sized as well or typically "standard" size?

they're press-fitted don't think it can be removed easily
