dirt in a bearing
Permalink  
 


main bearings are fooked in my bike so i have it stripped down. think due to my own negligence i got a bit of dirt into one of the gearbox bearings, is the bearing basically fooked or is there anything i can use to flush it out? think i seen work flushing it out with petrol but its a bank holiday here so i cant ask atm, put a load of wd40 through it and no difference but it did take the dirty feeling out of another one.

got my bearings out and the cage was ready to come in 2. so new ones on the way but i was hoping to keep my gb bearings. theres 25k on the bike, opinions welcomed.
thanks

I cleaned all the bearings in my dt with petrol when I had it apart then regreased them and they're good as new.
