Grease those bearings!

[Skylark]

Nope. The bearing has to be removed from any housing before using the Greaser.

Is that because the shaft the bearing is mounted on will block the tools access to the bearing.

I'm imagining that some bearings could be greased in situation if the shaft can be removed?

Ie linkage bearings on a full susser do not need to be pressed in and out just to re-grease , as long as the pivot shafts are removed and the greaser tool can access the bearing face/seals it would be fine?

Look at the photo's I linked above.

The bearing is inserted into the tool. Thus the requirement to remove the bearing.

 

If you don't want to remove the bearing, rather just remove the seal on one side and smear some new grease on.

Not nearly as good a job as removing the bearing and using a tool like this though.

I also have a Greaser, I brought it in with other Heli Spares. When I rebuilt my Blade 400 recently I removed and serviced all bearings. It does a wonderfull job and works very well. Whule pushing down you can actually see the old darker grease being forced out and being replacd by the new grease.
