PENN 525 MAG4 - Spool Bearings Oil Change - Episode 2

In this episode, I will be removing the Spool Bearings from the PENN 525 Mage 4, cleaning out the factory-grade oil and replacing the bearing spool oil with a Red Lable Rocker Fuel Oil. This was my first time working on a PENN 525 so there is some quiet period in the video where I was more focused on doing the reel than the commentary of what I was doing.
PENN 525 MAG 4 Series, I will cover over 4 episodes of the PENN 525 MAG 4 from, Unboxing and Review, Spool Bearings Oil Change, Loading New Line, and Shock Leader and Casting.

Best way to oil them bearings is to take the bearing covers off both sides before you put them in lighter fluid its just a fine clip just inside the bearing holding the shield in place, remove it carefully with i fine needle then you can properly clean them . As for oiling when everything is clean and dried off put one side of the shields on and place that face down on paper towel. Get small piece of shock leader and put a small drop on the end and then just put it in the bearing that is all you need as one drop out the container is too much and will slow the reel dramatically , replace the other shield and give it a spin on reel spindle to coat all the bearings and that is job done and a reel that casts to its capability.

Just buy some Jim's Reel Shop German manufactured DRY Ceramic-Hybrid bearings and save all the hastle! Those Chinese ball bearings are slow and made down to a price.

@5:55 when you're trying to get the bearings out, be careful not to damage the side guards on the bearings as it will ruin them and theyre only very very thin stainless steel shields. I found that with a Fathom2 that ive got. Best thing to do is take a dremel with a fine sanding drum, and give it a light danding inside the bearing housing so its easier to remove and replace the bearing. Has last just fine without corrosion provided that every time the bearings are cleaned and re-oiled a very thin smear of grease is put into the hole with a cotton bud before reppacing the bearing👍👍 Apperently a lot of spools made by penn the anodizing varies in thickness and can cause interference in the fit. Then again is made in China so what else is to be expected😒
