Not to say there isn't one, but I never heard of doing anything to break in a gimbal. Replace a few and never did anything except grease it up good

The important thing is to make sure the bearing is fully seated and aligned and greased if applicable.

There is no known running break in procedure for this bearing.

If it is greaseable grease it. If it is sealed just leave it. Either way just go.
