Title: Roller Clutch Bearing for Torium 20
Post by: andrewr on July 21, 2023, 11:42:06 PM
Hi, just got a new one to replace the existing one that is failing.  Shimano said I need to use a light grease for the inside and heavier grease on the outside.  Can anyone shed light on what I need to do to properly grease the new bearing?  Thanks in advance.

Heavy grease on the outside so you can remove it in the future. On the inside, I use oil, not grease. Unless the grease is very light -- that is, more like oil than grease -- you run the risk of the clutch bearing not working as an anti-reverse. The oil I use most often is Corrosion-X; I use Cal's Grease everywhere I need grease.
