[FC] rear wheel bearings

[Paul Steinberg]

Take one off and clean it up.  If you get metal chips out they you know it
isn't any good and you need a bearing.  Your parts FC has two axles in it, so
you shouldn't be stranded not being able to move it.  Or you can clean up the
parts FC axle and repack that one and just swap them.  You will not know until
you inspect the bearing.  All you have to loose is some time.  Paul in CT

  Thanks Paul, so far  I'm the only one who can hear them so maybe there's
  hope.
