Shimano 10HK6 Right Side Plate (TGT0507) | Tekota 500LC Replacement
The Shimano 10HK6 Right Side Plate (TGT0507) is a genuine OEM replacement housing component designed specifically for the iconic Shimano Tekota 500LC line counter reel. This side plate serves as the structural foundation for the reel's cranking side, protecting the precision internal gearing, the line counter assembly, and the drag system from the elements.
Crafted from high-impact, corrosion-resistant materials, this part is essential for restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic finish of your reel after impact damage or long-term wear in harsh saltwater environments.

Maintenance & Installation Recommendation
When installing a new side plate, it is the ideal time to service the internal moving parts that interface with the housing, such as the clutch lever and drive shaft bushing. For maximum protection and smooth operation, we recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Main Gear & Pinion: Apply Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease to the teeth to ensure quiet, powerful cranking.
-
For Side Plate Screws & Bearings: Use a light coating of Deuthlon Power Cast Oil on the screw threads to prevent seizing and on the spool bearings for effortless line release.
Why Use Genuine Shimano 10HK6 Parts?
The Right Side Plate is more than just a cover; it maintains the alignment of the drive shaft and the line counter gears. Using the genuine TGT0507 ensures:
-
Perfect Alignment: Eliminates gear binding and uneven drag pressure.
-
Environmental Seal: Maintains the tight tolerances needed to keep salt and grit out of the main gear chamber.
-
Line Counter Accuracy: Provides the stable mounting platform required for the LC assembly to track depth correctly.
