Stupid rookie mistake...

[jwadle]

So I am in the process of replacing the gimble bearing, boots, etc. on my Alpha One Gen 2.. I did this 5 years ago and so I know how to do it.. However, I have been up for like 24 hours for a software implementation for work, and had like 15 mins to run to the garage and slam the gimble bearing in.. All good and I was proud.. Until I looked at the dot, and I was like.. Oh yeah that is supposed to be at 10 o'clock, but in my rush I did not remember. It's more like 8 o'clock.. Now I know its important for the greaseable gimble, but this is sealed. Should I pull it out and put a new on in, or is it OK since it's sealed..

Thanks for any advice..

Sealed is okay at any clock position. Don't forget to remove the grease zirc at the gimbal housing to aid future service

Get some rest
