That rear set screw adjusts the bearing end-play and tension. Use just enough tension to keep the shaft from slopping with good contact.
WD-40 is NOT your friend here. Use a small dab of Lubriplate or other light white grease at both bearing spots. NOT anything automotive, like bearing grease (too heavy) or even plain 3-in-1 oil (it runs away).
