The Mike New Technics Bearing

[Mike_New]

Hi Anthony,
I provide a very clear set of instructions with every Bearing. I email these the day
I post the Bearing so that the customer does not forget about them!!!

However to answer your question, the protruding wires if you have some should be trimmed down to the top of the solder pads. This is a very simple procedure done with a pair of nail trimmers, that's all you need to do.

Warning:
There is alternative "advice" somewhere on the internet forums and supplied to at least one customer by a former distributor.
This advice says that the solder ball must be filed down level with the circuit board surface.
This is most definitely not required and is totally incorrect and very stupid advice.
I traced the origin to some forum in France which I could not contact.
If anyone here has further info then let me know as I would be interested to understand where the person is coming from.
