<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Some of us have been just leaving the seal and grease in
the bearing. I had replaced the bearing on my OS and the first replacement
bearing I removed the seal and rinsed the grease out of it and just used after
run to lube it back up after the install. Well!!! this bearing only
lasted about 20 flights. New bearing in now with seals in place has over
50 flights and doing fine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have some replacement bearings for my ST3250 that have the covers over
the balls. I think they may also have some grease packed in there. How do
I remove the cover to wash it out. Do I just pry it off? I don't want to mess
up the bearing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
