Re: Bearing cap eroding?
I'm surprised nobody commented on the bone dry cap!? If that cap is that dry with dry particulate on it, then I'd suspect them bearings are needing grease in a bad way! I agree with cleaning the bearings and liberally repack them! Get them caps involved and smear some grease on them too! "Heavens to Murgatroyd!"  PS. I use mineral spirits in my parts washer, the key is using compressed air to thoroughly dry whatever your cleaning. Might have to try that #1 Kerosene if it's cheaper than mineral spirits...
