102XU  (RD14863  Eared Washer)

The protruding ears on this washer engage with the reel housing to keep shafts, gears, and bearings properly seated during heavy use. Without this washer, parts can walk out of alignment causing noise, excessive wear, or lost performance. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD14863. OEM replacement provides the exact ear profile and thickness for a secure fit.
