ya, figured that. Mine functions perfect but glass beading to prepare for the engine powdercoat, I'll try to pull the needle bearings or protect the best I can before the oven.
I couldn't extract the needle bearings so as suggested just removed the oil seals and powder coated the part, all went well, temps were reaching 420 deg so any rubber would have been damaged, the needle bearings turn perfectly after the process. Thanks to all for suggestions!
I'm using Prismatic 'polished aluminum' color base with 'clear vision' clearcoat. the center bolt is powder called 'super chrome plus'.
