Stihl trimmer bearing
awemawson:
Small tin with a bit of cooking oil just to submerge the part, and heat it but beware of the flash point of the oil, best done outside rather than in the best parlor :clap:
John Rudd:
Put it in the chip frier.... :lol: :lol:
Bee:
Diesel, cooking oil, all quite 'thick' oils. if you want to dissove out existing oil just use paint thinner as in white spirit in the UK.
Seems a bit odd that this bearing has gone tight as one would expect it to wear loose. Maybe grass sap has penetrated as a sort of glue.

Yeah, most of the references to this bearing are that it wears. Maybe grass sap is a possibility.
Perhaps I should give it a rub down after use and not put it away wet....

Matter of opinion I guess. National deaths around 500 {population around 25m) so pretty low by some standards, but the new infection rate was getting really low then took off in melbourne.
Lots of finger pointing as to the cause, but the government elected for a very tight lock down to control. Numbers back to double digits after 4 weeks, was up to 700 I think (for Victoria only, population 10m)
