Related to my bearing failure, does anyone know how to service metal shielded bearings.
Fortunately I have a couple of old centax shielded bearings which I can put in my 710, but one is quite gritty. I've cleaned it in degreaser and as I can't open the bearing, I've simply soaked it in serpent bearing oil. Seems nice and smooth now, but is there a better solution?
At the outer edge there is a very thin spring wich you have to take out in order to get the shield out. Also remember wich way the shield got out (Up/Down)
