You need to clean it up and look at the surface that sits inside the bearings. If those areas are free from corrosion and pitting then it's fine, otherwise it's scrap. ________________________________________ Rich

Yea, I fear that, but won't know for sure until its all cleaned up. And it annoyed me enough getting the thing apart! ________________________________________ Darkstar
