i did it!
i did it!
once i bought up the bearings and the grease
i knew exactly what to do.
the grease is sticky enough to hold the bearings in place.
then it was just like playing Operation..

and i did see that if you tighten the cup too much you lose the smooth glide
so you have to back it out before attaching the locking nut.

thanks folks for holding my hand.
i'm gonna feel smug about this all day.

another newbie question HOW smooth should it spin?
in otherwords how can i tell i have them in just right?
seems to me if there is naught in there but balls and grease and it turns smoothly
i'm kinda done
but should it spin faster?

thanks!!!
