Bob Roberts says not to use WD40 because it will become sticky over time and gum up the bearings. |

--- Quote from: RayB on May 22, 2005, 01:54:06 pm ---When you swish a bearing around in oil like that, how do you get the outer rim of the bearing oil-free? Seems to me if there's oil on that outer edge, them the trackball will just glide across the bearing and not really turn it real well. ??? --- End quote --- So? If the ball glides across the bearing easier than turning the bearing, they the ball is rolling pretty darn resistance-free. Let it! |

As long as the encoder wheel turns. Lube up that ball and shaft though and the encoder wheel doesn't turn and it isn't playable. |
