My new one bearing is due to arrive today. I have white lithium and white teflon grease in my shop. Are either of those ok to use on the bearing?
Dude, i have basically written off the gyro and decided to stick with 401's. (at least for now).
If your bearing isnt sealed I would say the teflon grease. But I bet its sealed and doesnt need to be packed. Then I would just use some tri-flow or light weight machine oil. Remember .. most of the time you dont want it to rotate. Only during an autorotation is it used/needed.
