Default Ez start One way Bearing locking up HELP

So im on the 5th tank and all of the sudden it just quits and im like ok it normal when in the break in process so i went up to start it the piston was no cycling and so i tore it apart and the one way bearing was like stuck to the starter shaft and so i had to hammer the thing out after a hour of trying different things so i then clean the OWB and the shaft and put it back together so now i tried to continue with the break in and it lasted about 5 minutes maybe less and now i dont know if i should get a new one or should i take some Wd-40 to it and see if i can lube up the bearing inside.... I really dont feel like spending 22.50 on a little piece of metal

Usually when they lock to the starter shaft they need replaced. The starter shaft also usually needs replaced when the OWB has to be forced off.
Was this an old OWB you were using on a new mill?

Call traxxas and see if they'll replace it for free other then that a new one way is in order.
