I am doing the same project. The 1/16 ball bearings didnt work they were too small. The worm gear that turns the odometer didnt reach. So i bought some 3/32 bearings and they worked on the top but not the bottom they would jump around whenever I spun the mechanism. So I used the small on bottom and bigger on top. Now when I spin it I can let go and it will coats like it should. But now that same gear and shaft keep lifting away from the worm gear. I also am using marine grease it seems to work good.what should I do next
