Re: Oil for sintered bearings
Maybe you need to replace the felt oil pad, it is likely it has been compressed and is adding too much friction when the brass collar is done up so the oilite bearing can't swing into correct alignment.
As I mentioned before a gentle tap on the shaft or flywheel can help these self aligning bearings to align. But be sensible about where and how hard you tap it.
