I opened each drive up, and did two things to each: 1) With the upper
and lower head 'trays' propped apart, I manually exercised the r/w head
carriage, moving it back and forth a number of times, and 2) I put a
couple of drops of oil on the top of each motor's shaft, which was
easily reached with the service cover off.
I'm curious if anyone has done something similar with an RK05.
Certainly the bearings can be replaced, but can they also be cleaned and
relubricated? is it safe to pull the entire voice coil assembly apart,
clean the bearings and tracks, relubricate and reassemble?
any suggestions? thx.
