Try spraying it with WD-40 and leaving it overnight, then put it on a golf tee and chuck the golf tee to a drill. Hold the bearing while spinning the drill. Do this for five minutes. Clean the bearing twice in a solvent to get it working right. Lightly lube the bearing (I don’t but I don’t live in a very humid place. You probably should).

WD40 will indeed gunk up the bearing, but can easily be cleaned out. WD40 should only be used on bearings if the bearing is rusted and cleaned afterwards. And using a drill to break in a bearing is fine, just a lot more hassle. Any dirt can be cleaned out.

I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but if you’re not sure of something, please, just don’t make the post; you’re confusing him. WD-40 will not gunk up the bearing. I’ve been using wd-40 in one certain bearing for years. Doing it just to prove others wrong. I’ve had no problems with it and this particular fhz has 4 minute spins with my massive arms throwing it. I will say it’s not the best because it attracts dust. That’s why this bearing still has the shields on.
