No need to teach, just take out the bearings from your reel and take the bearings as sample to the spare part shop that sells SKF BEARINGS. Get the sizes that fit your reel.
If you can afford, you can order online, the bearing will cost more than your reel, I would advise you not to waste your hard earned money at this moment, until such time you are more well versed with tinkering with better reels, not your present RM10.OO reel, there is no space to put extra bearings.

Thanks uncle,but which part of the reel are the ball bearings located? Just curious to know.

First critical location is on the left and right side plate which holds the handle shaft which goes through the main gear shaft which must be supported by bearings, one on the left and one on the right[ just like the car rear wheel which can rotate clockwise and anticlock wise.
Second critical location is in the main housing which holds the main shaft supported by the main bearing [ the modern one with the one way clutch bearing].
In actual fact, most of the older reels only have three bearings, left, right and center which holds the rotor that spins when you turn the handle.
Uncle,im a little bit naive regarding the parts of the reel you mentioned above.If you do not mind,can you please show it to me in a diagram?

It is not that difficult as you think, borrow the ‘part list’ [of any spinning reel]from your friend
and study the diagram, you can find the left and right bearings which hold the main gear shaft. Then look for the one way clutch bearing which holds the pinion gear shaft, mission accomplished.

isn’t SKF bearings company manufacturers for heavy duty machines like hydraulic?

The power does not come from the bearings, but it can improve turning.
sp bro…most reel boxes have the full diagram of the parts and how they fit in…with that you can locate it…
