Tetsu, i just spoke to Andy Payor.

he said to use 50 cps silicone on the bearing. you fill it so that when the bearing plunges into the well, the silicone doesn't come up above the large diameter of the well-shaft. the silicone should come up to within 4mm of the top of the largest diameter.

to clarify.....only put enough silicone into the well, so that when you lower the bearing into the well the silicone will be displaced to within 4mm of the top of the laregest diameter of the well.

good luck and happy listening.
