is there a way to replace the bearings or lubricate?
thanks in advance,

Can you specify the brand and model?
Many use a simple sleeve bearing, which should be lubricated periodically (annually is specified for the reel I own).

hi,
I cannot find a make/model anywhere on it.
I will attach a photo when I get a chance.
there is only 1 screw on each side of the reel.
thanks again,

sorry for the ignorant question but I did spray wd-40 in-between the reel roller......I guess I should spray it on the screw itself right?
thanks
thanks

If I had that unit, I would take a wrench (or socket) and remove the bolt. With a little help the stand-ends should pull away from the wheel/tube assembly.
Should then be easy to see if it's a sleeve bearing (use some wheel bearing grease) or a ball/roller bearing. For the latter you may be able to push in some grease and maybe not - depends on the style. And if the bearing is screwed up your best bet might be a local well-equipped Hardware store.
