[QUOTE="GmB, post: 7142759, member: 88304"] The old SIP rake threw a wobbly the other day, main drive shaft bearing failure. I have religiously greased this bearing but the bugger still collapsed. On strip down I couldn’t see how the grease is meant to get where it is needed. I removed the flange, twisted the bearing outer out of the flange, second from left in photo, gave it a clean, but cannot see anywhere for the grease to pass into the bearing. Was the collapsed bearing sealed for life and not a greaseable type? Are greaseable bearings available? Nipple on flange suggests it is/was able to take grease. Cheers.[ATTACH type="full"]908451[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
