ahh white lithium grease is what you are supposed to use and IME you shouldn't have to use any force. if it wasn't greased you may damage the bearing.
VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install
I'm a new owner of a Scoutmaster and it arrived with the platter separate from the bearing (I assume bearing assembly, a 3" dia steel assembly that obviously fits within the center of the platter and has the threaded center spindle).
The fit of these 2 units is extremely tight and does not slide in easily. I mate them together and it seems as it needs to be tapped or possibly pressed in? Do I just need to exert a little more force?
VPI is currently closed (past 2 weeks) and I'd love to get this TT set up this afternoon.
Can anyone offer any advice on this?
Thanks.
