Sealed Bearing Tip

This is what a new sealed bearing looks like with the seal out . Notice how much grease is in it from the factory . I'm using a tip from one of the guys on a tech site . He removes the seal and works the swepco 103 grease into the bearing and wipes off the access then pops the seal back in . I'm trying this on our tru-turf roller which tends to go through these bearings fairly fast . One season on them so far and there is still a little drag on them , there not spinning as freely or sound dry .

  1. I replaced this main bearing and it's still making a clicking noise when I let up off the gas as if it is not all the way in reverse or forward

  2. More info ? It’s not the bearing clicking. Sounds like a linkage or cable adjustment problem if it’s not staying fully engaged in gear .
