I have a Shimano Chronarch 100SF that i am having trouble getting one of the spool bearings out of. I was able to get the side plate one out, no problem, but the one under the reel tension side will not budge. Any tricks? I was able to get the spring clip, the two plastic washers, and the half moon clip looking part out, but the bearing just wont budge. I tried using a q-tip from both sides, and nothing. Id appreciate your tips! thanks!
If you have to, take the side plate of and put a shot of WD-40 on that bearing. Take a small punch and tap it from the inner side, go easy on it. Should pop out.
