Don't you just love a Bodger ?

Mace:
My front wheel bearing collapsed this week, nothing new there I suppose, apart from when I eventually dismantled it I found someone had packed the old bearing with COPPER GREASE !!!  The grease had melted away leaving a nice think copper paste which ground everything it touched until it was hot enough to melt the bearings !!! NICE....why do people bodge ???? You've got the special tools to take the thing apart but can't be bothered to buy some grease ??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

turtle:
Nice looking bearing there Andy, you should put it up on ebay, bet it would sell  :wink:

woody:
ever thought about washing it out in parafin and re-greasing
it should last a while (not):twisted:

ian_s:

Xtremeteam:
