Default Wing root bearings hard to align/rotate to correct position.

Some spherical bearings have a slot in the cage that surrounds and supports the ball. The ball is rotated 90 degrees and aligned with the slot, permitting removal for cleaning and lubrication. Don't know if Schempp-Hirth bearings have this feature. Take a close look at the collar to see if there are any gaps in the ring.

Aha, I will certainly check that !
Thanks !
