Remove the Lid of the bearing which will be going to be in the centre.

I would suggest you to by a good bearing for the centre one

Clean the Grease of the Centre Bearing

Remove the Lid from the main bearings & clean it with WD40 or alcohol so the excessive grease is removed.

once you open the lid and clean the grase you will notice that the bearing has become really free.

Stick the Cheap Bearings Close to Each Other

Now Stick the six bearings close to each
other with Super Glue, Fevikwik Or Araldite(Araldite would be the best).

Please be care ful while using the glue it should not go inside the centre bearing

Let It Dry for Sometime

Once you stick the ball bearing it would lookg something like this as shown in the image

Now wait till the glue is dried up completely.
