> The bearings are already de-shielded out of the box. Just to be clear, you mean can I see the bearings in all their glory when I separate the two halves right? In that case yeah - they’re already de-shielded.

Do you see the individual balls and cages? It’s unusual that a bearing comes w/the shields off. The shield is a thin plate the normally covers the balls.

Note that the bearings shown here all have the shields on

This shows a bearing w/the shields off about half way through.
