You can peel off the seals with thick needle. Insert the needle from inside hole section and peel it off. Need sometime to practice.
You can use WD40 to spray and soak the bearings ( 30 minutes ). Shake them and spray again until you think is clean. You can spray with motor cleaner or soak them with nitro fuel for finishing touch.
Tamiya ceramic grease is the best lubricant for bearings. Fill it until max and close the seals.
I do this every 4 race meetings.
Main Pulley Shaft Bearings and Rear Diff Bearings need early maintenance maybe every 2 race meetings.
