Hi Jamie
Are the bearings really rough or is there a trace of dirt or a brush hair in them? The common failure mode is slight clearance, often largely the result of corrosion more than wear. I would be interested if conventional failure pitted bearings are ever encounterd. Unless rust pitted from long standing
Hello, Bob.
To be honest, I am not sure yet. I need to give them a good clean to check. I plan to use the ultrasonic cleaner to shift any grit and then warm air to dry them out thoroughly.
