Cal,

Your review stated that this reel has two bearings associated with the spool. One bearing under the spool and another in the spool itself. How difficult is it to replace these bearings? What size are they?

In addition, the review stated that it has a bushing in the line roller guide. What size bearing is needed to replace the bushing?

Thanks in advance.
