Title: Ceramic versus SS Bearings
Post by: Dave Bentley on January 12, 2010, 06:45:38 AM
Hi Alan,
Checked your site and haven't found your thoughts on the above.
I am about to rebuilt my '91 ABU 7000 and will replace the bushes with bearings but not sure which ones.

Your input would be appreciated.

save your money.  remove the shields on your stock abec 5 bearings, clean them out with carb cleaner and compressed air, lube them with xtreme reel +, reinstall them open you're all set.  also, clean out the levelwind assembly in the same matter.  it's gonna spin forever!
