Agreed shop / online retailer has buying power if anyone can they will get what you need.
We all too often try to go direct and forget about the middle man.

did you contact the shop where you bought the reels?
when it goes through an official dealer they are serving you with spare parts. Depending on the item it is even for free ;-)

Daiwa Crosscasts are brilliant for the money. They're seem identical to my Emblems with the exception of the handle, and I guess some of the internals. They're very light, line lay is excellent as is the clutch. Don't overlook.

You can buy that part from Future Reel Servicing on eBay.
There aren’t many spares available by the look of it but there are some if you google ‘Okuma Obsidian spare parts’, all seem to be on eBay.

Okuma don't seem to do spares.
A couple of weeks after buying Obsidians I lost one of the screws that holds the reel handle onto the body.
Emailed them to ask if they would send a replacement and got a generic email back saying to take it back under warranty 
Luckily I found it a couple of weeks later so all is good again, I was a bit annoyed at the time though
Saying that I still think they are great reels and don't regret buying them
Found it:
Thank you for getting in touch. If you bought a faulty item, warranty applies you need to turn to the place of purchase, and your item will be replaced or refunded. Unfortunately we do not sell spare parts.
Best Regards
Rapala Europe Customer Service

The xTE line guard should be a firm push-fit onto the spool shaft. If it’s repeatedly popping out of place:
1) Remove the spool and inspect the guard for cracks, distortion, or worn retaining tabs.
2) Check that it is fully seated against the shaft and hasn’t been fitted over any misplaced spool shims.

Yep, Rapala own both Okuma and Dynamite Baits
Okuma Obsidians do look great for sure, i was torn between them and the Shimano 14000 XTE but ultimately went with Shimano as my 5500's have done me well for a long time.
I don't like the line guard thing on the XTE's to be honest, on more than one occasion i've had to take the spool off to put the line guard back into it's slot

Isn't Okuma the same company as Dynamite and Rapala?

Not tried but I’m sure you can. Okuma is a big company.
