    Replacement spindle bearings arrived unsealed type

    When I ordered them I didn't catch that they were/are an open or unsealed type. I've bought the special Kluber grease now, but as I'm getting ready to put them on, I'm having second thoughts.

    I do have a means to cut precise covers/gaskets to go between the bearings and their bearing covers. On first thought, this should alleviate any issues with swarf getting in there.

    I intend to use a swatch from the shower liner material I'm using in the flood coolant enclosure for the quasi-gasket. It's made from flexible PVC material.

    Even if they wear down, they will be very easy to replace.

    Thoughts? Recommendations? Issues seen lurking to raise their heads down the road?

    What type of bearing did you order? AC's are open, as well as tapered roller bearings. The only "sealed" bearing you will get is a deep groove radial bearing.

    AC - angular contact. I just finished cutting the 0.040" thick gaskets about 5 minutes ago. Now I am staring at them wondering which direction is up!

    Not so. There are plenty of sealed A/C bearings - I've used them many times. Just check any good bearing supplier.
