Clean the bearing in mineral spirits. Thoroughly dry. Don’t lube it right away. Play it a bit, then see about adding lube.

Also, learn to use punctuation. Thanks!

Sounds like you put way to much lube in it.  
You can:

1. play it and do the whole break in period again
2. Clean it again and put a very small amount, less than a drop on one ball bearing (I’m assuming you removed the shields.
3. clean it and play it dry (if that’s your preference)

That’s happend to me and it sounds like you put way to much lube. What worked for me was breaking the bearing in. AKA just use it as much as possible.
