Hey;
DO NOT grind off the drill screws. They are hard and will not drill. There are various methods like vice grips, cutting screw slots, directional tapping with a sharp chisel. The slickest method I heard of was drilling the right size hole in a piece of sheet metal and tack welding it to the head of the screw! I wish I were you, and had me telling me all this great stuff before I ground mine off! :banghead:
New bearings, eh? That's gonna cost you. The main is a special preloaded bearing you can only get from Logan, if I understand everything correctly, and if it is like the 200. A generic will not work. I'd do everything I could to save the old ones. They can feel really crappy until you get them cleaned out. Mine did. Amazing what new grease can do.
