Default RE: Un-welcome noise!!

I would try an approved lubricant before I took anything apart this close to your trip. With 1000 shots, the bearing is not really suspect. This would be like the wheel falling off a car on the way home from the dealership. Just needs alittle TLC after the wet hunting trips.

Which cam do you have? From the manual:


ECCENTRIC LUBRICATION

Cam & 1/2 Performance System bows (except for Versa Cam & 1/2) feature sealed ball bearings which do not require lubrication.
For conventional bearings or bushings, such as those found on AccuWheel and Versa Cam & 1/2, a light spot lubrication of the axles where they pass through the eccentric should be done on a regular basis (1,500 - 2,000 shots). In adverse hunting conditions where dirt, dust or moisture are encountered, lubrication may be done on a daily basis. Hoyt recommends you use a silicone or Teflon based lubrication or any other quality grease available at your local Hoyt Pro Shop. It is
NOT recommended that you use "Penetrating Oils" such as WD-40, EZ-#7, Fast Break, etc.
