According to the manual, the spindle bearings are splash lubricated. As I'm about to replace the spindle bearings, I have a question. Should I pack the spindle bearing in grease if they are splash lubricated?
It would seem that you would slowly contaminate the oil with the grease in the bearings. If it is splash lubricated, my past experience with such systems is that the bearings are soaked in the same oil as the splash system, and the splash system keeps them lubed.
But if seems that Shoptask recommends greasing the bearings, and then splash lubricating them which doesn't make much sense to me as the oil won't make it thru the grease, or if it does, will wash it away.
Any advice from other owners or experts our there as to what way makes the most sense?
