    Luckily the lm8uu bearings are super cheap :). @WheresWaldo has an interesting thread in the mod page for replacing with a bushing. I believe he and others have had good luck. Might be worth a look. I personally done mind the bearings, just require some maintenance :)

    Ias always file a parts request with robo, I'm sure they'll send you some

    I intentionally misaligned the bearing blocks just a hair. I found a drill bit that was almost the same size as the holes in the block and bed. So I ran it through both. Then when a started to tighten them up I pushed one side to the outside and the other end I pulled in just a hair. Making sure the Ben still slides freely. Tightened it all back up and the bed doesn't wiggle.
