I have an old CD-44 Series 3 rotor on the bench.
When turning, it sounds like it's pouring concrete for a new tower.
I opened it up, gears look ok.
Turns smoothly, but sounds "crunchy".
Is this noise normal?

Also: There seems to be way more grease on the bearings than is necessary (to 
me). How much grease should be in there?

TNX,
