I can hear a bad bearing again, but in my infinite wisdom, I didn’t bother to write down what types of bearings this motor uses the last time I had it disassembled. So here I am again, trying to breathe some new life into these rusty mofos - hopefully, by the time I need to do this a third time, I’ll have clean, new replacements ready for all of them.
Also, I have no idea what I’m doing here, so here’s to hoping all the parts find their way back to the right spots and I don’t break anything else in the process.
Also, note to self: just buy them damn lockring pliers.
EDIT: I didn't fuck it up.
Close to half of that was spent cleaning and relubricating parts. But yeah, it was awful.
