Well it's nearly that time of year, I want to get the parts coming and replaced before the ice is totally off the lake so I am ready for spring fishing.

I am looking at parts 3,4,5,6. It says 3/4 is for the lower pin and 5/6 is for the upper, but the picture kinda shows them all going at the top of the gimbal housing. Do I need all four parts, or just the 5/6 for the upper pin?

Better look at all the schematics! You have 2 pivot points & only view on that page.

All of those parts are used on the UPPER swivel shaft. The lower is just a single pin. The UPPER has 2 bearing surfaces on it. One is referred to as the upper surface and the other is referred to as the lower.

Yes. The shaft has 2 bearing & seal surfaces. You infact want all four pieces.
I thought the pic of shaft would help you make sense of the other pic of seals & bearings. Pics of "order of assembly" isn't too clear sometimes.
