Spool Bearings

[Gaverick]

My sl30sh hasn't been working properly for a while now, not casting right and making squealing noises. I've took it apart and the right hand spool bearing looks as if it has seized, the centre piece won't turn at all.

The size of the bearing is 6x10x3, does anybody know where I can buy spare bearings, do any of the tackle shops have them in?

you can get the bearings at several places but if you choose to go to tackle shops they are 3 times more expensive.
there will be bearing distributors down durham way.
renewed some 4 my mate the other week and they were only £2-50 each from a bearing place in gateshead.

Good news, I found a guy in Peterlee selling a 6x10x3 bearing on ebay so I emailed him and went to pick it up tonight. Cost £4 so not too bad, probably cheaper than a tackle shop.

When mine have gone I've had them replaced along with service for about £7 from tackle shops
