Thanks for the info.
It sounds like it will be wise to tear apart, clean, and check for damage then reassemble with new bearing balls and grease.
I am set on the grease. I replaced my bottom bracket a few years back with a wider Phil Wood model. At the same time I got a tub of their grease also. I figured it would come in handy... Although, I do have some heavy duty waterproof automotive grease also (I want to say it is chevron, thick red stuff that is in a grease gun for ball joints and hubs). I am leaning towards the Phil Wood, but if anyone has thoughts there I'd be curious to hear at least.
