INSTALLATION:
Ceramic Hybrid Bearings and Full Ceramic Bearings require proper installation to ensure optimal performance.The best method for installation is one that evenly pulls or pushes the bearing in from both sides at a straight angle.

SEAL REMOVAL, CLEANING & RELUBING:
If your bearings start to feel gritty or noisy it is most likely a result of dirt or debris getting under the seal or shield. Your bearing’s life can be extended with a simple cleaning and relubing process.

Removable metal shields have a c-clip that hold the shield in place. The c-clip can be removed by running a pin around the inside of the outer race, once the clip is removed the shield with pop right out. To remove seals from the ceramic hybrids or teflon shields from the full ceramic bearings, you can just gently put a pin or awl under the inside lip of the inner race and pry the seal off of the bearing. Soak your bearings overnight in our Clean Touch bearing cleaner or any standard degreaser, then blow the bearings dry with compressed air or allow them to air dry over night.
