- 1.I have read many different and opposing articles on bearings and
- cleaning etc.
- Are you supposed to let them run dry or should you use some sort of
- lubrication and what sort of lubrication should you use. I'm mainly
- concerned with the wheel bearings for cars and with the attraction of
- dirt with lubricants.
-
- 2. Should motor bearings be cleaned any differently and when can you
- tell if a motor bearing should be replaced?
-
- 3. Which cause the most damage to a commutator - hard brushes or soft ones?
-
- 4. Has anybody tried the hydra drive on a stealth yet? and if so what's
- it like?
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Cheers
- Paul
