I Just siliconed my die-nasty on both sides. Some silicone got on my axle and inside where the bearing and spacers sit. How can I get it out ? and will it affect play ?

if you use a pin to pick it out that usually works. as long as there is no sili touching the bearing it shouldn’t affect play. just make sure there isn’t any bits of sili on the bearing seat and it should be fine.
