+[title] getting to the ball bearings
+[* black] I took of the bonded rubber bits from the bearing using the metal spudger.
+[* black] It took a while and gave some mess on my working table. It also smells funny and tastes terrible.
+[* black] When all rubber bits are taken off, you will see a small washer on top of the ball bearings, likely to keep out the rubber of the bearing balls.
+[* black] Take the washer out, and you will see the balls in the ball bearing. The outside ring should rotate nicely around the axes. The bearing jammed, so this was not the case.
+[* black] I took some WD40 to clean the ball bearings and wiggled the outside to get it loose. After a while this will work. Use some napkins to clean the WD40 together with the rest of the rubbery bits from the bearings. Use loads of napkins, to keep yourself and your working environment clean.
