[TowerTalk] Thrust bearing re-grease

Can anyone direct me to the Rohn TB-3, TB-4 spec sheet that shows these
thrust bearings should not be greased.  I would like to add it to my
file.

I have a couple of Trylon mast (thrust bearings) in service.  They are
somewhat like the Rohn ... Aluminum race and steel bearings.  They
recommend greasing.

In the instant case, the operator plans to grease a grease-free
component.  While it seems a commons sense plan to grease
the gnashing metal gears,  it proves counterproductive and
possibly harmful to do so.
