I have an Yaesu GS-050 thrust bearing that has been installed for about 15
years. The thrust bearing turns, but requires a lot of force.
I disassembled the thrust bearing to find that the grease is very sticky (think
candy apple sticky), and not lubricative (if that is a word).
Should I take it to an auto repair shop and ask them to degrease and then
lubricate similar to repacking a wheel bearing?
What kind of grease should be used?
Thanks and 73, Steve N9IP
