[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 499344, member: 31103"] Thanks for the pointer. A quick review of eBay did not turn up any replacement roller bearing assemblies that match the part number shown on the schematic for this reel. Believe it's part number 81322. I prefer not to take this reel all the way apart again. I've done it before, and had a successful reassembly, but that was on a long winter's night when there was not much else to do. Meaning: It was a Royal Pain to get back together! I think my next step is to get some solvent into that bearing to free up old grease; as you may have noticed, I used Hoppe's #9 and WD-40 to clean it the first time. As for relubrication after that's done, what's best? As mentioned, I have Penn Precision Reel Grease, and I also have the Penn Precision Reel Oil. I'm thinking I need to use oil since I'm not planning to take it apart. I did look online for CorrosionX; quite honestly, I was taken aback by the price for a can of that stuff. [/QUOTE]
