First, I am asking this with little info on situation.
Only relating what I have heard, don't expect astounding revelations, but PM members have astounded me in the past more than once!
VMC with spindle that "quit"......
Recently replaced...Drive? ....no... spindle cartridge.
Green button guy:
"Worked fer awhile then quit agin"....
"An dares shiit leakin out of the thing dare"...
Evidence: Spindle has about a 1/2" diameter "wad" or "ring" of green grease around it where the inner turning part runs close with the outer stationary part. (Near the bottom, near the drive dogs)
Question: What could happen to the new spindle that would cause it to fail this way in.....say......2 weeks or 30 days?
Too much grease?
What is the effect of tooo much grease on an 8000 RPM spindle? I don't know if it still turns, which would say alot, but didn't want to appear... too interested. If you know what I mean....
Speculation?
Theory?
No....not a puzzle....you don't have to build a propeller shaft for a cruise ship with an angle grinder and a pipe wrench......
