[Towertalk] Rebuilding a Thrust Bearing?

[wd3q@erols.com (Eric Rosenberg)]

I've been given an old Kenpro thrust bearing, the equivalent
of the Yaesu GS-065, that was rusted stiff.

I've opened it up and yes, the two "rings" of bearings are rusty
and dusty!

My question is what is involved in re-building this item? Just
cleaning out the muck, putting in new bearings and buttoning
it up?  Will steel wool be enough or must I do more?

Thanks in advance,
