down. Discard the nut.

9. Rotate the bearing by hand and check for smooth
rotation. Visually inspect the bearing for moisture, dirt
and corrosion. Replace bearing if moisture, dirt or
corrosion is evident.
NOTICE
Due to extremely close tolerances and minimal wear,
the bearings must be inspected visually, and by feel.
While rotating bearings by hand, inspect for rough
spots, discoloration, or corrosion. The bearings should
turn smoothly and quietly, with no detectable up and
down movement and minimal movement sideways
between inner and outer race.
