Call Shimano's customer service number and they should be able to help you out. Ask for Robert he's helped me out in the past and is a really nice guy.

I would avoid ARB's in your Calcutta. The guys who've been fishing these bearing for the last year are switching back to shielded bearings.

A-RBs will run about $20 to replace both spool bearings in your Calcutta. I have had them in my Scorpion 1500SF, Curado 100, and Citica 200 for well over a year now. These reels are fished almost daily, light inshore work (saltwater only), and in addition to improved casting distance over the stock SS shielded bearings, the A-RBs have held up very well corrosion-wise.

To JP and others, I have plenty of new stock BBs (& new ceramics) that I'd gladly trade for A-RBs ... }(

found a place in Irvine. VXB bearings

awesome prices and they sell on ebay. But I'm sure how to clean the grease out and replace it with rocketfuel or reel-x.

Soak them in some simple green and blow them out with some air. Then add the oil of your choice.
