I don't know if this is possible, but I think whatever grease was in there before, SEPARATED... There was a black oil substance which leaked across the lengthwise grooves on the axle, and then there was a totally clear type of grease that was in the bearings... Not much, but it was there. It was like it was two totally different kinds of lubricant. Would you recommend that I take this completely apart and re-do everything re:the bentley or can I just repack it and put it back together again?
