Thanks guys smile

ill look into getting some Wool Fat or Lanox. With regards to mower repairs, are those lubricants only really used to help with tight fitting pieces, like the bearings? Or are there other applications you would use them too ?

The bearings are good, no need to come off. I was looking to take that one off to press-fit it first then slide the crank through.. seems it would be easier that way,, but those spaces are in the way and can't take it off. Not sure how to take the spacers out wither.. seemed rather tight so I didn't try hard (didnt want to break anything)

I'm not too sure what the freezer is for though, lol... something to do with getting the bearing on??

thanks again smile
