This is a Genuine OEM replacement part used on some Shimano Fishing Reels. This part is made out of Metal and it is Sold Individually.
Sometimes if it sounds like the reel is grinding when you are retrieving line, general assumption is to think there is a major problem with the gears in reel. In reality usually the reel is fine and just the bearing is compromised.

Your Shipping cost is a total rip off
The parts are great, but the shipping cost is more than the parts. What a rip off.

Ginding sound when reeling line
Darrell - April 24, 2017
👍 5 of 6 people found this instruction helpful
Tool Type
Reel
Difficulty
Medium
Time
30-60 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Small knife
After going some time with a scratchy/grindy sound/feel when reeling narrowed it down to line roller. Didn't do it unless spooling line, oil didn't fix, so ordered all the line roller assembly parts(there are several). Loosened screw holding assembly together, carefully separated bail, paying close attention to the order parts were lined up(also had schematic drawing). Popped out the shaped washer pressed in bail arm recess with knife tip and installed new. Pressed bearing, and roller bushing, and roller together, gave a drop of oil. Then while holding screw in place, slid parts on in proper order(important), made sure ears on nut part were in slots, and reassembled. Fairly straight forward process, although my sausage fingers didn't help with those itty bitty parts.

The bearings had rusted and were making the line roller on my Stradic FL 4000 noisy. The bearing at the base of my crankshaft in my Curado DC 150 had also begun rusting
Michael - October 1, 2020
Tool Type
Reel
Difficulty
Hard
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Adjustable Wrench
Parts Used
1. I unscrewed the line roller from the bail
2. Removed the parts and replaced the bearing
3. Scrubbed any remaining residue out of the roller housing
4. Oiled the new bearing
5. Screwed it back together without issue
For the Curado I removed all pieces down to the base of the main shaft and took the shaft out all together. To remove the bearing at the base I needed to remove a small piece using a tiny flathead screwdriver. Be careful that you don’t lose that piece. After replacing and greasing the bearing, everything was simple to put back together

Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Suggest you use a small set of screw drivers
Parts Used
Removed the handle and both coverplates on the reel. Removed the C-clip on the levelwind shaft and also removed the line guide. Pulled the nylon gear off the end of the levelwind shaft and removed the nylon bushing. Installed a bearing in place of the nylon bushing and then reassembled the levelwind, cover plates, and handle. Replacing the nylon bushing with a bearing makes the reel even smoother than new.
