Ultimate Kayak Fishing: Bearing Upgrades Revo Toro 60-hs 18 00 - Ultimate Kayak Fishing

Bearing Upgrades Revo Toro 60-HS 18 00.

On the box it say 7 HPCR bearings (With Instant Anti-Reverse), when you look at the Swedish Specifications it has "6 Stainless HPCR Bearings + 1 IAR".
Looking at the schematic and counting the bearings you'll find 5 bearings. The sixth bearing and the pin that holds it in place are absent from the schematic drawing. The missing bearing is on the spool, it shows one bearing Item 79, the same bearing is on the other side of the spool. This is the one missing in the schematic. The pin for the Pinion gear is pressed into the spool axle and that part is not shown either. The pin has to be removed to upgrade the bearing on that side of the spool. The pin seems to be pressed in, I have not tried to remove it yet so I can't say if it's easy or not.

I'll list the bearings with the Item number they have on the schematic and the corresponding Part#.
The bearing measurements will be in the 4x10x4 style, the first number is the inner diameter (ID), second number is outer diameter (OD) , and last number is width (W). All measurements are in "mm". I found replacement bearings on VXB's site from $2.95 to $99.00 for a single bearing. I try to find ABEC-5 in 10 packs or dry ABEC-7 bearings for my replacements. I have listed OEM bearings if I could find them on Mike's Reel Repair.

Carriage Screw (worm gear) has 2 bearing of different sizes, the larger bearing is easier to replace than the small since the small bearing have limited replacement grades (I found 2 styles)

I try to get unshielded dry bearings since they are easier to to clean and remove grease from. The shielded bearings I remove at least 1 shield for degrease purpose. The small bearings on the carriage screw I leave alone and replace when bad.

If a dry bearing is to fast for you, the bearing can be slowed down by using yellow or red rocket fuel oil.

Don't get in trouble like I did when I brought 10 new bearings to the jewelery store in the mall and put them in their free Ultrasonic cleaner. I guess it messed up their solution

eBay have ultrasonic Cleaners for sale.
