Servicing Daiwa Millionaire CV-Z 203 (Changing Bearings) (Re-post)

This is Daiwa Millionaire CV-Z 203.
In this video I am going to clean up the drag washers and replace the old bearings with ceramic ball bearings from Boca.
I clean drag washers at least once a year. Jerky drag is mainly due to water or oil penetration between the drag washers. Cleaning generally improves the drag performance.
The drag washers of this reel are carbontex cut from a sheet (I have a video how it's cut). I have replaced washers about a year ago and are in good shape.
Smear of grease like Cal's grease will make drag smoother but on the other hand will reduce the drag power. In this instance, I am maintaining the washers to be dry. 

The existing bearings on this reel make some noises and it seems its casting distance is somewhat affected. It's time to replace bearings.
These bearings are ABEC 5 rated ceramic bearings from Boca. I am running it dry but you can put a drop of good thin reel oil. I am replacing bearings for spool, side plate and main shaft. 
The bearing sizes are (in metric):
Side plate:  3x8x4
Spool: 5x11x3
Main: 8x14x4

Thank you. Please see my other videos.
