Yes, the light oil coat during reassembly provides lube/protection in the beginning. The oil in the fuel does work Its way down to that while area and thru that bearing. Because of its location and that they are a single seal bearing sealed on the outside, the oil gives the initial protection...

Nail polish remover is acetone, the bearing SHOULD be cleaned out with a good degreaser... Brake cleaner for a 1:1 car works great. There should be no gritty feeling in the bearing and it should move very freely. A light oil (like a light mobile 1 oil) on the bearing will keep it running well...

Yes! It Def looks like you made good progress! Clean, inspect, lubricate, install... You are doing great with the process! Thanks for the pics! Keep em coming!!!:thumbs-up:

Looking forward to the 'after' pics!

They are cheap. I would order it anyways. The savings on shopping the 2 together (if tower ships that way) would be worth the price alone. Aside from that, just to Have it ''in case" would be worth the $6 to me.

That doesn't sound encouraging!

That's for sure!!!

Yup! Sounds like a tear down/rebuild! You'll be LOVING the truck again after that! Likely the zip ties got hit enough to stretch a bit. I'd just replace the whole thing again. Maybe look for the tie wraps that have the metal tongue that grabs. That type doesn't use teeth so when it pulls 'tight'...

My other hand smacked my thumb with a hammer for getting out of line! It's VERY sorry!!!

Lol! My bad! It was MY FAT thumbs that have you the 'thumbs down'! I claim full innocence!!! :thumbs-up::confused:

I agree with olds on this one for sure! One way bearings are finicky little suckers... They can be cleaned out a lot of the time. Then a LIGHT coat with some LIGHT grade motor oil like the mobile 1 you might put in your car and you're good to go again. You MAY have some loose parts in there...
