Missing '22 Ald BFS o-ring

Post by Mike son » Thu May 11, 2023 7:19 pm

This is pretty stupid but I must have pulled off the little rubber o-ring on the spool shaft when removing the spool from the reel. Can't find it anywhere. Noticed it was missing as there was a slight rattle when I spun the spool after placing it back in the reel. It doesn't look like the Curado BFS has one of these o-rings according to the schematic nor would I be sure that the size would be the same. Is my only option to order a replacement from Plat? Am I missing another replacement option or somewhere to order it? It's a cheap part but the shipping will make it an expensive o-ring. Reel seems to work fine just slightly louder if I were to spin the spool. Part 91.

EDIT: I indicated the wrong o-ring on the schematic fwiw. It's on the other side of the spool, the o ring that sits on the bearing in the side plate.

I ended up finding it. Just a word of caution, don't let that o-ring slip off when removing the spool. The o-ring doesn't appear to be something you can order from Shimano USA.

Dang, thanks for the heads up.
