I was able to loacte an upgrade kit from Shimano that replaces the sideplate bushing with a steel bearing. Kit is $13.99 plus shipping. I also downloaded a schematic from their website. The other bearing I will have to have it measured and order one from Boca Bearing. The pin removal from the spool may be an issue, since Shimano sells the whole spool assy as one piece. Let me know how you want to proceed.
