How to change bearings on spool

Here I explain how to change the bearing, installed on the spool.

You'll need quality pliers. The pliers on the photos is only for demonstration, and I use much larger one for myself.

1. The pin is holding the bearing on the spool. 2. Use pliers to push out the pin to one side. For this job, grooved surface pliers will damage the shaft. Please use flat surface part of the pliers. 3. Please remove the pin when it is pushed to one side. Be careful, or you will damage the spool edge by pliers.

For your reference, professional reel repairers are said to use special tools (maybe hammer, shaft holder and guide pin) to remove the pin.
