I always thought it was oil not grease for the line roller bearing. Thanks for the vid 👍

With so many dissimilar metals in the line roller assembly, I wish people would lubricate them more often than not. Ive had to do some horrific things to get some bails apart and order so many parts to rebuild them. A drop of oil every outing people.

Hello, thank you for this video! I have ordered shimano grease dg18, it’s very good for lineroller, but months ago i used penn grease (it’s more sticky, not so good for lineroller), when arrives me dg18, how can i remove the previous penn grease on bearing? Simply with cotton, or immersing in gasoline? Thank you
