ya, I was looking at the ceramic bearings that are affordable. Just change that one I guess. The main seems fine.

Question about that brake cleaner spray: How do I get it on the bearing with the clutch in the way?

I don't want that stuff inadvertently spraying all over the rest of my car. Especially on the clutch.

2nd question: Could brake cleaner spray be used to check the rest of the crank case for hard to see cracks/leaks?
