Trackball tune-up?

Bones:

I worked in the bearing industry for 14 long years so I picked up a thing or two.

The biggest cause of bearing failure (apart from incorrect installation) is contamination. Make sure that when you clean and re-pack the bearings all traces of previous lubricant have been removed as best as can be done, then re-pack.

Would probably be a good idea to suck up any dust while you have everything apart as any floaties in the air will most likely stick to any lube that dribbles out of the rollers & will eventually work it way back in.
