I'm just doing some winter maintenance and I have the swing arm out for the first time in 4 years to check the bearings. I noticed that when I stick my finger in the center of either one, I can wobble them around pretty good. They also have a tiny bit of play pulling straight out and a bit of a clicking sound. When I push my finger straight in, there is no play whatsoever (as if they are preloaded) and they are completely smooth when I rotate them with no notchiness whatsoever.
How much play, if any, should these have?
Thanks,
Tom
