This video’s primary purpose is to provide instructions to the folks who bought the bearings earlier this week, so i had to rush the two videos back to back..
I bought this bearing with my last order and just tried removing screw. I must have a defective screw because no matter how hard i torque it, I can’t get it to budge. Any advice?
Is it an old reel? Be VERY careful not to strip the bolt! Make sure ur screwdriver fits perfect so u don't strip it. These things are not screwed with that much force. If it doesn't want to come out, something is wrong, and maybe just leave it. Put some oil, spin it to work it in, and leave it alone. If u strip that bold u screw the whole reel
@@ifishcatfish Shimano Sahara C2000S from Japan.. purchased from Amazon a month ago.. used a perfect fit screw driver that works very easily on the other screws on the reel. On this screw I torqued it until it started to strip. Is it possible that the screw is damaged on the inside or it has locktight? For now I just replaced the outer plastic bushing in the knob with the bearing since I don’t think I’ll be able to remove the line roller screw.
@@alexdobiasz5121 hard to say without seeing, but if u strip this screw u can lose the reel, as getting another rotor costs as much as getting a new reel
@@ifishcatfish the replacement I ordered is having the same issue.. every screw is easy to remove except the line roller screw. I wonder if Shimano saw this video and decided they didn’t want customers upgrading their reels so they put lock tight on the screw
I have put them on size 4000 but i am not sure about 5000. My guess is it will work but its just a guess. As for shipping, whatever the system calculates when u put your address. Assuming you live in United States. I don't ship these outside.
Is this a Japanese only model Sahara? Or is this regular USA model Sahara I can get locally? I found out the Diawa Legalis you liked was a Japanese version. And had to be ordered from Japan. That’s why I’m asking. Thankyou sir!
U should buy it from japan. These fukkrs here in USA don't bring any of the good models. Shimano doesn't have an office in USA. That what people thing but its wrong. Its a dealer who has monopoly over the US market and they bring whatever they want. Shimano has no say in it.
nice video, thank you! another question.. if I fish in salt water, is it better to leave the plastic bushing or put a ball bearing? some say it's better to leave the plastic because it's less likely to clog than salt water. thx
Sahara should be ok in saltwater as long as you aren't wading where you can dunk it. I've been using Laguna lt 2000 for light game and even seabass for a couple of years, strangely enough it feels smoother than my stradic and stradic Ci4+ when used for a similar period in salt. Just wash after every trip.
@@ifishcatfish thanks! yeah, i stay away from ceramic bearings on any application. Spent a lot of money for a ceramic bearing for my bike and it wasnt as magical how i thought it would be.
I’m sure it is,never mind I just measure the one from the handle and got the bearings from Amazon .l’m based in UK and to get them shipped from US would be bad idea for me because that would cost me quite a lot of money just for 1 bearing,they came in the pack of 10 so I’ve got plenty now 😁,P.s anothergreat video👍🏻

Nice…👍
You don’t buy the Roro bearings or the Bosco bearings
are you talking to ME or some other folks? Why would i buy Roro bearings?? I didn't understand this..
Do you by chance know If these will fit a okuma Avenger reel?
They will NOT
@@ifishcatfish thank you for the reply. Thank you for all the great videos you have thought me a lot.
Thankyou Mr.victor! I will have to retry this, your videos take my mind off a rough time, thankyou!
I know all about that too, believe me
@ifishcatfish just finished it and got time to do it, worked perfectly thanks for the video!
Got it!
Hi Vic, wish you could also show us how to replace the line roller bearing for ultegra 2000shg
the ultegra already has a bearing, no? no need to replace it

@@ifishcatfish I ordered a replacement reel. Don’t want to risk this defective screw getting loose over time. Thanks for your input.

Hello I want to purchase these, and wanted to ask if they fit 5000 size reals and how much do you charge on shipping and other fees.
I have put them on size 4000 but i am not sure about 5000. My guess is it will work but its just a guess. As for shipping, whatever the system calculates when u put your address. Assuming you live in United States. I don't ship these outside.
@@ifishcatfish Thank you
@@ifishcatfish When I try to add just the bearing to the cart it doesn't have any shipping available.
When will you be restocking?
3 weeks

@@ifishcatfish How long does it take to receive orders from Japan? I have never bought anything from over seas before thanks

@@ifishcatfish I did not expect that. That’s a no brainer! Thanks Victor.
Does stradic line roller set fits on nasci?
I dont know..
Have you been taking things apart and putting them together since you were a kid?
Should also work for Miravel, no?
maybe.. Try it and let me know! : ) Never opened the line roller of Miravel.
Would love to see one for the ultegra and stradic
These reels already have a bearing in the line roller
nice video, thank you! another question.. if I fish in salt water, is it better to leave the plastic bushing or put a ball bearing? some say it's better to leave the plastic because it's less likely to clog than salt water. thx
Well, u have no business fishing saltwater with Sahara. This reel has absolutely no seals.
@@ifishcatfishwhat about the nasci

@@idriveskyline Yes, Nasci is what you want. Nasci is a sealed Sahara.
damn, too bad you dont ship to europe. Now i gotta hunt for those bearings here.
just dont buy ceramic bearings for this application. It wont work.
@@ifishcatfish thanks! yeah, i stay away from ceramic bearings on any application. Spent a lot of money for a ceramic bearing for my bike and it wasnt as magical how i thought it would be.
What size is the bearing?
its the right size, sir, i promise!

@@marcelfishing the right thing to do. Watch my installation video anyway.. in some cases u may need the washer...
I’ve already put the bearings in the reel,one in the roller and one in the handle,everything works perfect 👌🏻 nice and smooth,thank you mate 👍🏻
@@marcelfishing good luck on the water!
Awesome!! Thank you.
The same bearing fits in handle knob👍
The handle is a different application and will get its own video because there are some differences
Great information and video
