How to mechanic BB service continued.

If everything is in good shape, time to reinstall. You can use the old bearing or put in some new ones. Bearings are cheap. Might as well put some new ones in. Again, check Velobase for correct bearing size and the number on each side. The rule of thumb is fill the race with bearings until there is not any room for another, then take one out. They must have some room when they connect with the spindle. Put some grease in the races before you put the bearings in.
