Title: Bearing Coating Removal
Post by: rockhouse66 on June 13, 2020, 08:11:39 PM
The F-M rod bearings have what appears to be a pretty heavy coating of some preservative, sort of like Cosmoline but not sticky.  Should I remove this coating or just leave it?  Is it general practice (still) to clean these and scuff them with a Scotch Brite pad?  It doesn't just wipe off and will require some elbow grease to remove.

Leave it.
