Ceramic Bearings
Hi Guys,
I have just ordered in a full set of Ceramic bearings for my Yokomo SD.
With my other type of bearings, the first thing i did when i got them was to take the seals off them and clean all the packed grease in them, and replace with a lighter oil.
What i want to know from you guys who have fitted them is, do i need to take the seals off and do the same thing, i have heard many conflicting stories, i just want to hear what everyone is doing.
regards brad p

I've used the Acer ceramics and I just took them out of the package and put them into my car. The lube they use is very thin and they spin super right away. I don't have any experience with the Yokomo ones yet though. I can't see why they would put a heavy grease in them though, see what they feel like and go from there.

Using other than ceramic bearings, I was advised to replace them every year after the carpet season ends. Do you have any set standard for when its time to replace ceramic bearings?
FYI...I have a set of $60 polymide (?) bearings from Acer in one XXX-S and a $20 steel set in my other XXX-S. Many thanks.
