Hi All
I am changing my Gimbal Bearings and the PerfProtech sales person told me to buy the Perma-Lube bearings for my Alpha II drives.
Reading the "Instructions" it reads that it does not need grease and also to remove and plug the Grease Fitting. Additionally, it reads that it does not need a Grease Retention Seal (Which I purchased anyway)
I just feel uncomfortable just pushing in the new bearing and not applying grease.
Anyone ever use these Perma-Lube (By Quicksilver) bearings?
