John, reading Oilte’s own literature, bushes are “loaded” with oil from new, as a result of reading this I did not soak the Oilite bushes installed on my girling brake levers, which subsequently seized locking the brakes on.
Advice on here has been to soak the bearings prior to use, some say use hot oil, some say soak for 24 hours etc
It has also been pointed out that whilst the bushes may have been supplied loaded with oil, we the buyers do not know how they have been stored or how long they have been stored by the supplier, have they “dried” out??
So I soak them.
