Hi John:
This beyond 'feel' though, it is grinding, not lockup but it does seem that
the grit in the bearings is the likely culprit, or hope against it, that
someone 'discovered' that there was 370 bearings and when they got it back
together had 40 leftover. Anyone know a good repair shop close to Calgary?
