[QUOTE="hoohoorjoo, post: 340131, member: 13335"] I can get any of the Boca bearings. The Orange Seal ABEC 7 ceramic hybrids are what I use most often. Some reels have 3 bearings relating to the spool rotation and others have only 2. Price varies accordingly. For example, my Daiwa reels have 2 spool bearings and cost is $25. The Daiwa Lexa actually has 3 bearings and cost is $37 for those bearings. I don't charge any extra to install the bearings when I clean and lube a reel, since the reel is already apart. Clean and lube is $15 for standard reels(baitcast and spinning), $20 for reels with clickers and $25 for linecounter reels. More time is invested in the assembly/disassembly of bait-clicker reels and linecounters, hence the extra cost. On average, it takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours per reel. They get a complete breakdown and get soaked in a mild solvent to remove every trace of dirt, grime and old lube. I'm definitely not getting rich, but I do enjoy the mechanical aspect of diagnosing/repairing reels and the satisfaction of seeing a reel's performance improve after I work on them. 8) [/QUOTE]
