How to add bearings to the worm shaft and handle knobs for the Shimano Curado DC 150/151

I show how to install bearings in the handle knobs and on the worm gear in a Shimano Curado DC 151. It will be the same for a 150.

Some useful tools, a 10mm nut driver, a PH0 and PH1 screw driver, a few flat blades come in handy, Husky 8-in-1 Precision Slotted and Philips Screwdriver, a needle to remove bearing shield, wooden pick, q-tip, your oil and/or grease, and I have some smooth needle nose pliers that a good for getting parts and not damaging them.

I used a cheap Philips head to remove the screws on the handle knob, then a Wiha PH1 to remove all the main body screws, and a 10mm nut driver to remove the handle nut.

The last tricky part is putting the star drag back on, be sure to align the cross slot to fit over the drive shaft in the same direction to fit over the star drag nut.
