who says it needs new bearings and why? i've had shimanos for 30yrs and never replaced anything but line!

Alright there, i got some bearings last year for my charter special from a place on the Team Valley i cant remember the name of the firm but it was in princes park, follow the road around to the right and it was in the top left corner. Take your bearings with you and they will sort you out.

i sent the reel away to be serviced and the company rang today,the reel works ok just when reeling in its quite stiff

The spool bearings rarely need changing, most likely just the one behind the handle.

7X17X5 (S697zz) £1.75 each for stainless at RCbearings Limited (last I bought some).

or

I'll service it for £59.99 for you Only joking, if you need a hand give me a shout.

I didn't see that bit, it's definitely just the one bearing in the side plate behind the handle.
