Current Projects chat and miscellany

so you're saying the cones were screwed, but the insides of the hub - the other end of where the balls are rolling - was still in tact? i find this hard to imagine, tbh, did you look good enough? =))

Didn't get it under a microscope or magnifying glass, but to the naked eye and finger/fingernail the inside of the hubs were as new. The balls were also looking as new. The cones though had pitting and scoring marks. The marks looked like the balls had gotten bunched up or something and instead of rolling, they had been dragged/pushed around the race and the surface got chewed as a result. Could have been from improper adjustement/play rather than a direct result of corrosion due to water getting through the seals. Though it could have been that which caused the failure of the magic green DA grease that allowed them to do it. Who knows.
