Accidentally got a little CA in one of the TT bearings which made for rough rotation. Using a chemical soak, I was able to get the CA out and free up the bearing. But as you might expect, all the bearing lube has also been removed and needs to be replaced. I have "The Greaser" and have been using that with good results on slower rotating firmly mounted bearings like on the main shaft and blade grips. But for higher speed bearings, I am a bit concerned that the grease will cause to much drag, potentialy spinning the bearing inside the housing, or spinning the housing inside the tube.
Using the second bearing as a rough guide, it does not feel like there is much grease, if any as its very free moving. Perhaps bearing oil would work better for this application? I have some of the Scorpion bearing oil on hand. Comments?
Lastly, when I removed the bearing from the housing, I noticed a small amount of what looked like CA inside the housing. As it makes sense that the housing would be glued to the bearing, I wondered if that was there from the factory. Or was just more extra CA from my installation mishap? During re-assembly, should the housing be glued to the bearing?
