I purchased some NOS bearings and races for my late 32 banjo. I was installing them today and when I cleaned the old packing grease on one of the races that goes in the axle tube I found two small rust pits. I think it is likely not a good idea to use it or am I worrying about nothing? These are old parts in old Ford boxes.
Thanks
