Product Description

SHIMANO 104PU BALL BEARING (TGT0876)

Handle Heavy Loads with Precision

The Shimano 104PU Ball Bearing (TGT0876) is a high-performance, shielded stainless steel bearing engineered for the heavy-duty drive trains of Shimano's lever drag reels. Specifically designed for the Shimano Torsa series, this bearing supports critical rotating components like the drive shaft or spool shaft, ensuring smooth operation even under the extreme drag pressures these reels are capable of producing.

In the Torsa, where torque and cranking power are paramount, a compromised bearing can lead to gear misalignment ("geary" feel) or reduced free spool. Replacing worn bearings with this genuine Japanese-made Shimano part restores the silent, effortless rotation and rigid support necessary for battling large pelagic species.

Installation Tip: The Torsa series features tight tolerances. When installing this bearing, ensure it is seated fully into its housing (often the Side Plate or Spool Shaft assembly). If the bearing feels tight going in, do not force it; ensure the housing is clean of corrosion. A drop of light reel oil (like Shimano B-100) is recommended on the bearing face after installation to ensure maximum protection.
