Here are the steps to properly store NAF automotive bearings:
1. Clean the bearings thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or compressed air to remove any dust or dirt particles.
2. Place the bearings in a clean, dry place and avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
3. Coat the bearings with a thin layer of rust inhibitor or lubricating oil to prevent rust or corrosion.
4. Store the bearings in their original packaging or a sealed container, such as a plastic bag or a metal can.
5. Label the container with the type of bearings, the date of storage, and any special instructions, such as the recommended temperature range for storage.
6. Check the bearings periodically and rotate them to prevent any flat spots or deformation.
7. If possible, store the bearings vertically instead of horizontally to avoid any weight or pressure on the balls or rollers.
By following these steps, your automotive bearings will be properly stored and ready for use when needed.
