Repacking your Sealed Bearings:
This is a very simple process to do.
Step 1:
Bearing must be a sealed bearing. RS Type Rubber seal.
Step 2:
Locate a flat head screwdriver where the tip is about 1/8 of an inch.
Step 3:
Place the tip of the screwdriver into the inner part of the seal. Between the inner rase and seal.
Step 4:
Twist screwdriver and seal pops out.
Step 5:
Grease all of one side and only half of the other. This is equal to 70% greasing of the bearing. Highly recommended not to exceed this amount.
Step 6:
Replace seal. This is very easy and will pop right back into place.
Repacking should be done prior to installing any sealed bearing. You should repack at least once a year as either a pre or post season maintenance. If you take care of them they will last a lot longer then just dropping them in and going.
