Hey guys,
Well, the bearing I think is still fine. The problem is my perfectionist way of restoring the truck. The original brown wire is in bad shape. That is the real reason I want to change it out. I bought a new mast jacket from Classic Parts..and of course I was not impressed with the after market item the wire is black and it should be brown. I do have an NOS mast jacket and maybe I will just use that one...
Thank you for the help guys..I will try to pull out the other one this weekend.
Jon
