thanks tom, I'll try it. It seems every time I work with it it seems to get a little better. What ever it is that on the bearings is got to be tough stuff.
thanks

Bill: Run the bearings back and forth while "painting" on Mineral
Spirits with a brush. While soaking them will help, it won't wash the
junk out of the bearings. Once they start to free up you can switch
to WD40 (more as a cleaner than a lubricant). Another more aggressive
approach that I sometimes have to use on my slides is brake cleaner
from the auto store. Works wonders on waxy or junked up surfaces but
will attack some plastics so be careful.
