I've changed the line roller with a ceramic(sic) one with came with two nsk ball bearings.It's an easy install on my Shimano Vanford C2000S but I'm impressed by the improvement.I am going to change the handle for a carbon handle and knob from Heighten wich will arive in two weeks.I'm afraid to open it tho 😅

Ceramic is extremely smooth but can be a bit noisy Take your time and take photos before you remove a part as reference if you get stuck Good luck

Cool! Thanks for sharing! Would you please tell me where I could buy the brass(?) tweezers with the steel tips you have for removing bearings?

[@hkeepingitreel7441]

I got them from a guy in the USA, found him on FB or Instagram from memory. Look up #Bearingbadtools or #Imakegadgets His name is Bernie, he will arrange payment & post international for you Great tool 🔧
