I have 2 bearings…one that came with my g5 and another that came with a grind machine that I bought a year ago…

The bearing that came with my g5 lasted only 2 days before something inside the bearing caused it to be extremely responsive…I switched my g5 bearing with my grind machine one and a week later the same thing happened.

What should I do? ???

Clean it, maybe its just breaking in? Play with it more.

Clean the bearing. I can confidently say that it`s one of the best solution.

I’d say play both bearings for a week or so then make a decision as to if it’s bad. I’ve seen a lot of bearings do this and nothing but play fixed them.
