I finally got the bearing(part8) off last night. Part 7 is a thin clearish washer that keeps the bearing from coming off when you remove the spool. I used a pair of tweezers to grab it and just kept spinning and pulling until it came off. Its not very rigid and i was thinking about just ripping or cutting it off if i had to. The bearing came off easily after the washer was removed. Now if i can just find the bag of washers i didn't put back in the reel box after my last attempt ?
