98-CFTii5000LC NOTES
This bearing assembly comes dis-assembled from Penn.
We've noted two different designs in the plastic parts of it.
The one that came out of a sample reel was slightly wider rimed on the outer piece with the loop that the whole assembly seats on, and a rim on the inner plastic tubular frame that seats into the outer piece.
The ones that came from Penn on order are slightly narrower on the diameter of the outer piece with the loop, and the inner plastic tubular frame has no lip, it just locks down into the outer piece.
TO ASSEMBLE:
Apply some Penn blue grease to the tubular frame that will help to hold the pins in place. You will note there are tiny flexible frames that hold each pin into the tube. Insert pins gently. Without grease they will fall out. Once all pins are in the tube, put the metal sleeve in the center and seat the tube into the outer plastic piece. Cap it with the outer metal ring.
It's installed in the reel onto the pinion with the flat side down towards the housing body and the rounded top towards the rotor cup. See schematic for how to place the parts around it on the pinion.

Since you can't walk into Penn reels in Philly anymore, this is the next best thing. Thanks for your services!!!!! Even parts for vintage reels. Delivery is super quick as well.
10/23/2024 Easy to order parts and they shipped fast. Great seller! Hope to do business with them again! If you do not find what you are looking for do a Google search with Mystic Reel Parts in the search with your model. I have a Penn 285 and 9 and it took me to the exact page for both. Also have the reel schematics.

I luckily found MysticParts via a Google search. Their website is comprehensive and I was at a loss on what I needed. Fortunately the “contact us” option was user friendly. To my delight I got a personalized and VERY helpful response right away. She asked questions to fully understand my needs and then followed up with links to the right parts. We continued our email exchange regarding my second reel issue and, again, she was extremely knowledgeable and gave me both practical as well as professional solutions.
If you need reel parts and assistance with repair and maintenance, do not hesitate to work with them.
