  • DX7 bearing mod, greasing bearings?

    Hey guys, my DX7 throttle stick bushings are finally giving some play, I've been using it everyday for quite some time now, even on the sim.

    Noticed the throttle stick felt sloppy, something not right. Thought it was the tensioner plate but checked it and still lots of grease on it and the fuel tube looked fine. Looked at the axle going into the bushing and yep, some play.

    I've rotated the brass bushings and greased them for now which seems to have made them better, but it's only temporary.


    Looking to get this set of bearings here:

    What grease do I need for them and how do you have to apply it? There's a special bearing greaser tool but do I really need it?

    Thank you.

    It would be good to find out what size these bearings are and get em local ;-)

      The bearings you require are 4x7x2 and can be sourced easily enough in the UK.
