So I picked up a couple of MaxPower spindle assemblies from Amazon. These had the grease fittings on the mandrels. But out of curiosity, I decided to check to see if the bearings were sealed on both sides. One might thing that the inside would not be sealed, simply because there's a grease fitting on the mandrel.
Well low n behold, both sides of each bearing is sealed.
So the question remains, do you take the one seal off, so the grease can do it's thing. Keeping in mind, that the customer (this customer) probably won't grease it. Ever. That be the case, would it be better to just leave them both sealed with the grease that it there.
Or, unseal the the top of the bottom bearing (because that's where the grease will end up?
Questions questions questions.
