I am going back together with new gimbal, bellows, seals, etc.... I re-aligned the motor with the old gimbal before removing it, then was very careful to make sure the hole in the new gimbal lined up to the grease port before installing it, then realigned the motor again but, now I'm trying to grease the gimbal and the grease is coming out between the outer ring and the housing and it seems very little is getting into the bearing itself. I am glad that I decided to grease it now while I can watch it and make sure its right as I was almost stupidly about to finish putting everything back together then grab the grease gun. In retrospect I suppose I should have tried to grease the new bearing before install and will likely go with a sealed version next time but for now I'm trying to get it back together with what I have.
So here is the question:
I did purchase the threaded bar/plate style gimbal bearing removal tool rather than use a slide hammer but have read several times that removing the bearing will damage it requiring replacement... using this 'proper' (?) tool is it possible or maybe even likely that I can remove the bearing without damage allowing me to inspect/grease/reinstall properly aligned without having to buy a new one? The old bearing doesn't appear to have been damaged at all during removal.
Thanks in advance.
