Hi guys. I recently installed a new main shaft, spindle, blades, and auto gear w oneway bearing after a small incident. I have several flights on the repair and everything was fine. I usually land auto style from about two feet (saves tail blade from scuffing so bad I think). I did this the other day and caught some high grass... I didn't think much a about it... But now the bearing reales both ways... Not freely in the direction it's suppose to lock, but it will give. Would that have caused this or..... I think I installed it right... No oil, small bit of grease was used on the install. How do you guys do it?

You should take the OWB apart and inspect it. If there is trash in there, it will keep the bearings from catching on the sleeve.
