Hi,
I took apart my linkage and a few of the bearings are full of grit. I took them into the local shop and the mechanic said they would be fine as long as I cleaned them out really well. He told me to clean them with solvent then blow them out with compressed air. Later, I was working the bearing back and forth and a few of the pins fell out. No big deal, I can put them back in. But, this has got me wondering if compressed air will blow all of the pins out entirely.
The mechanic also suggested that I buy some bel-ray 6 in 1 cleaner and lubricant. He said its really good at eating the rust. It was 12 bucks for a can but I sure there's something else out there that's similar for a quarter of the price. Anyone know what I could use?
