Check yer bearings

[SkunkedAgain]

Good post, I just had a similar failure on my disk, but it's a sealed bearing so you can't service it, but my point is bearings have gotten a lot more expensive, my replacement cost $160 for the bearing and $70 for a seal.... They used to cost less than $40 for both.... Plus I had a week wait for the parts to arrive, assuming they do get here today... Anyway it's a good idea to take care of them so you don't ruin your trip or worse your equipment and someone else's due to fall out from the failure... Later j
