Thanks BB. I need all the encouragement I can get, because I'm feeling a bit out of my depth.

I ran into trouble today when trying to sort out the bearing in the housing pictured below:

I ordered the bearing as pictured in the parts list on outdoorking - but it's not the right one. I believe this bearing is self-aligning, can anyone tell me what type of bearing I need to get? I'll have to have a look at a few local bearings places over the weekend or on Monday. I ordered this bearing , but it doesn't allow the shaft to fit through

Any help would be appreciated. Here is where I'm up to as a lot of the parts are still a bit tacky, so I can't handle them too much....

Will put the rear roller in with new bearings on Monday and hopefully the reel and soleplate will be sharpened by then as well.
