I knew it was close to time to do my 2005 clutch when it started depositing release bearing balls out of the weep hole between the engine and M56, likedroppings marking the way home…

I found ball bearings coming out of the two swivel wheels on my floor jack right before it needed to be replaced.

Ball bearings also come from the cheap silver cheese castors they put on shelves and toolboxes too.

That’s funny!

I remember when I first learned about working on quality bicycles, that there is a wide range of quality and roundness in ball bearings.
