AryanP@\/\0Ey Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I heard that wetting the bearings rust them so I want to dry them quickly but I have no hairdryers and stuff so can I just heat (only) the bearings to dry them? Will heating them damage the bearings? ONE OF THEM HAS A CERAMIC AND THE OTHER HAS BALL BEARINGS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Repetitively? Yes. Have you tried using WD40? As it matters less if they're still wet, if sprayed with light machine oils, that'll help displace the water, and left to rest on paper towels to remove the excess oil.

AryanP@\/\0Ey Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I knew I could use WD-40 but its very expensive for me ( cause its rupees used here as money) plus I don't think its available here.? Cost of WD-40 is around 1,000RS. Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Any light machine oil, or a few drops of diesel will do the trick, just make sure the bearings are free of sand/dirt My family is originally from panjab, so I can couch for the diesel as lubricant trick AryanP@\/\0Ey and +Raze 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendy oltman Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Over heating will destroy the shape of a ball bearing. Be careful. AryanP@\/\0Ey 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoKiLLa Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) If your currency is Rupees then presumably you're in India, is it not hot enough outside to just leave it sitting in the garden to dry out? Also, it's a fidget spinner, just spin it a lot and see if any water is spraying from it, did you drop it in the bath or something?
