You just used to much v4m. Oil slows a bearing down. Just need the smallest amount on one ball of the bearing. Just play it for a while or clean it again and go much, much easier with the lube.

I prefer mineral spirits or acetone, but this is what’s recommended for lighter fluid:

Remember, when lubing with the shields off:  
Dip a needle or pin into your lube. Touch the pin to 1 or 2 balls. You might repeat. Spin. Done.

If the shields are on, half a drop is more than enough.

You won’t need to lube often.
