Greasing Bearings

[Sib]

Its been a long time since I last did this.

Do you still need to pack the grease into bearings and can you use some to help them press into the disc?

 

[ditz]

nope bearings are sealed...

and if you are using a press no need to lubricate maybe a bit of copperslip stop it seizing in

 

[Sib]

can you get them in without a press?

I believe you might do matey, i needed a press to get the b*****d out, a ball pein hammer just doesnt suffice...

 

[Sib]

was planning a little heat to get them off

I didnt bother taking them out! just noticed thats what you were on about lol

but i put the new ones in by putting the discs in the oven and the bearings in the freezer :rasp:

 

[Sib]

did that work or are you pulling my pisser?

I take it, it doesn't matter which way they go in?

that really does work, but as i have always had a press handy not tried it.. i saw it done with a frozen bearing and a disk warmed with a blowtorch..

i will say dont try it tho.. press them
