yeah that's the bad thing about needle bearings it's real easy to get them cocked slightly on installation then they act like a sprage clutch, want to turn one direction and locking up going the other way, pull the rod out and get some grease into them then spin the rod both directions a few times before completing re-assembly

no no load but those needle bearings run closer tolerances than bushings damn old thing was happily thrashing away in there and you went and changed it lol

yea those tolerances are realy tight ! i bet if u realy had to u could file a thousand or two off the rod and it would help. i would suggest to any one that the needle bearings are very nice but be prepared to do some finessing to get the advanve rod to work right. Very Happy
