When and how do you maintain your bearings?

The guy at the lhs told me to get this $7 can of electric (brushed) motor/bearing cleaner. Man Im Glad I did. It cleans brushed motors. It has some pressure to it so it really penetrates the cracks. It cleans all the grime out of bearings like no ones business.

Not only does itnwork wonders fornits intended uses, but it's perfectly flammable too. Spray a circle I the garage floor and you've got a ring of fire for a few seconds. Makes a sweet flamethrower too (for an aerosol).

You know guys I was just thinking about relubing my sealed bearings and it occoured to me that a lot of you know might know how to dissamble and reassemble shieled and sealed bearings. I have yet to see a bearing that can't be taken apart and put together without damage, outside of a few industrial applications.

Give me a day or 2 and I'll post up a write up on how to and what to look for, with pretty common tools you already have.
