[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 935860, member: 3828"] Ruh roh!! :o This is the first time I have seen this information. And, if this is in regard to that waxy/plasticky stuff in between each of the needles, and your information is is accurate, I think it is too late for my poor old bearings. When I did the lube job last winter I pulled out all of that plasticky stuff as it just looked like hardened grease, then goobered in my own waterproof grease instead. The stuff was only found in the single bearings at each end of the relay arm. The double bearings in the middle of the relay arm (that Russ is talking about) have a metal insert retaining the needles.
