A) False brinelling
Ring oiled bearings use metal rings to:

When replacing or removing an anti-friction ball bearing, the applied force should:
A) Always be against the outer race
B) Always be against the inner race
C) Be made only after heating the bearing
D) Be applied suddenly and fully
E) Not be transmitted through the bearing balls
E) Not be transmitted through the bearing balls

The key difference between fluid film lubrication and boundary lubrication is:
A) Grease is a good lubricant for fluid film lubrication
B) Fluid film lubrication actually keeps the rotating surfaces separated
C) There is no real difference between them
D) The oil needs to be under pressure to make boundary lubrication work
E) Boundary lubrication only carries away heat build-up
B) Fluid film lubrication actually keeps the rotating surfaces separated
