Should I send the thing in or just keep fishing it until it really craps out? I've heard that ppl send them in and have nothing but problems, but tis the season for servicing. Any thoughts please
You will get a little movement at the rotor, how is at the handle if you try to turn in reverse? If it's solid at the handle you just need to get a full service (seals, main bearing) If you have movement in reverse at the handle you need to send it back to Okl. Service centers do not change out radial and A/R bearings in the sideplate.
