Oh yes. New roller bearing for sure. Silicone is unnecessary. Heated box and a freezing cold bearing is.I took the forks off and the layshaft came out - some of the rollers had fallen out of the race - I guess upon taking the case off some how? It was really siliconed on there. Either way, the rollers, which had fallen out and were sitting in the middle of the race, were stopping the layshaft from fully seating. I guess I will be putting in a new layshaft bearing now after all.
