Be sure to check the backlash. This will be a big indication on the general condition of things. Lubricate the bearings behind the yoke and in the carrier after you clean it out and before you rotate anything. Once you have it all cleaned up and rotating with some lube on the bearings, check the backlash. You don't want to skip this step.

And as gm said, if its making grinding/scraping bearing noise when you rotate it, you are all done testing!
