How To Grease Sealed Bearings
Rod Rhoades, North Star, Alta: “Removing bad sealed bearings can be a difficult, slow process. So-called grease needles don’t work well or at all on shielded bearings. To grease sealed bearings I use a quality bit in a dremel-type tool to drill a 1/16-in. dia. hole in the shield. Then I use a pointed nozzle to inject synthetic grease and cover the hole with more grease. If I do that the bearings seem to run fine for years.”![](/img/download-story.png)
