Does a kids sunglass lens count as a fancy filter? Cause I have lots of those

Re: Opening mount bearings for cleaning
The LXd75 is what....about 15+ years old now? I don't think you can get the parts for it anymore short of finding another mount to buy for scrap parts unless i'm mistaken?Lola Bruce wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 12:51 am Replace the bearings. Do not be tempted to change to seals stay with shields. Much less stiction.

Re: Opening mount bearings for cleaning
So if I'm understanding, unlike other bearings, once the shield is removed, that's it that's all correct? Glad I heeded everyone's advice thenPiet Le Roux wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 9:51 am Good day, If you take accurate measurements of the bearing with a caliper you can get a part # from bearing distributors. I use to replace the bearings in my model aircraft engines and remove the seals to allow the fuel to flow through them: there is no way to replace the seals once removed.
