[QUOTE="rancerote, post: 920678, member: 403095"] Below you can see the rack and non stop screw cleaned thoroughly, so I proceeded: I dipped the pieces in a bowl with hot water, baking soda and dish soap, soaked for an hour I proceeded to remove the residual fat and dirt with the aid of a brush. After being dried with a cloth and warm air from my phon I greased the bearings with PTFE grease as suggested by a friend of the forum which, unfortunately, can not remember the name but I thank him for the very useful advice. In case the bearings are very soiled or full of dirt, soil, rust suggest immersing bath with gasoline for ten minutes or more depending on the needs, rotate occasionally the bearing to "escape" the dirt and with a toothbrush or small brush to finish off what is not desired In the second picture you can see the "signs" left by two grains that blocked the head of the rack to the engine block, one I could unscrew it with a spray Svitol and gasoline while the other has not wanted to know, the rust had "welded" at its headquarters. Having ruined two hex keys and tried to twist parades screws from USAG resultless, for two days I tried to "consume" with the drill and special vanadium tip and, about the length of 6mm grain I had come to take a little more than half !!! (see photo below) At this point a thought "decisive" takes possession of my mind: block all on the vise and helped by the famous "law of the jungle" (heavy hammer and awl 20mm) suddenly a sequence of shots are unleashed on the head of the rack and then trying to do less damage as possible and after several days of unsuccessful attempts, this time the grain was finally defeated !!!
