[Spridgets] Bearings Replacement

Bill,

    The particles in the filter are shiny, and they smooth to a shiny residue
rubbed between my fingers, rather than sharp and hard like filings. They are
oily right now and the oil makes them sticky. I`ll clean them to be sure and
get back, but they do not appear to be strongly magnetic, if at all. What
would that mean?
