Sorry, this is a repost as a gremlin had put a line through my previous post! I have cleaned the a/c bearings and mounted them thrust sides adjacent in the carrier. With the carrier held in the hand the bearings revolve freely and feel fine. When fitted to the shaft (in the carrier) and the l/h thread nut tightened the bearings become tight and feel slightly rough. Woodrow says tighten down hard. Am I over-tightening or is something else amiss? (I have mounted the lower bearing and spacer before fitting the carrier!)
