...also.....many make the mistake of not completely cleaning the NEW bearing in mineral spirits and re-packing the NEW bearing with the bess posible hi-temp EP grease available....the grease that the bearing is shipped in is just to prevent corrosion in storage and is NOT to be used in service.
I use NEO HP800....~$35/lb....but worth it.
