I wouldn't let a little worn out bearing that is gunna get replaced stop a ride. Maybe slap a little snot in there to lube it first. So what, you hammer a bearing that is getting tossed.

I agree. Slap some grease in there and have some fun.

Mine started squeaking and it thrashed the rocker arm after one ride, turned into a lot of work. Just a word of warning. Mine was a bad case though.
I would at least take a look at it and grease it.
