Looks like trek has the tool in stock so will pick it up tomorrow.
Park tool video shows just putting grease on the spindle, I am assuming I put grease on the bearings.
But my BB has the caps on either side, so I am not sure I will even see my bearings once I pull the arm.
A thin film on the bearings is nice, just so they don't stick to other metal parts - you don't want to have to get out the torch to take things apart again in a couple years, after a bunch of rain rides.
