So I cleaned the bearing of my YYF dv888. I went to put the shields back on the bearing, I couldn’t get one of the c-clips back on. I think I accidentally bent it!! What should I do??

You should just leave the shields off. Your bearing won’t suffer for it and you’ll have an easier time cleaning it next time.

Ok thx. But what should I do with the shields and clips. Should I just keep them. Also I already have one side on, should I just leave on side on and one off, or would that be bad.
