Greasing Swinging Arm Bearings?

[Cook1e]

Quick question for those who have had the S/A bearings out - does the inner race come out easily to allow the rollers to be greased?

I had a quick tug (ooh, Matron! ) when I took the swinging arm off, but they didn't seem to want to part.

If not, are they therefore "sealed for life" and can't be greased?

All advice gratefully received - to include "anything else whilst I have the bugger in bits"?

Thanks in anticipation of wisdom...

Mine are creaking badly and I've tried to spray silicon etc in to stop the noise for the MOT but without success. I think they're sealed. They are certainly one piece and they certainly don't come apart like the paralever ones. I don't seem to remember them being to expensive though, just a bit of a bugger to remove. I bought a blind bearing puller to get the buggers out.

Sealed one piece bearings.
One came out no prob, other one was a complete fuktard.
I think it was about 30 quid for the pair.

Pull the pivots one at a time and work the grease into the rollers with your little finger.
