Spinning dry also damages the bearings.  There is no lube to protect the 
surfaces and normally some dirt left.  Spinning with air spins the bearing very 
fast and accelerates the wear process.  When I worked on jet engines a bearing 
that was spun with air was automatically taken out of service.  I know that 
cars don't have the same tolerances but why take the chance of extra wear?

That would be a safety issue. Long time ago a friend of mine was working on his 
racing go-cart and spinning a dry bearing with the air hose. It blew apart and 
he lost his left eye. It is now made of glass. I learned my lesson from him.

I've heard this for years and don't do it. But it is blind acceptance of the 
advise. I've never found an acceptable explanation as to why. Anybody have one?
