Bogie Wheel advice

[4Fighter]

Hey all. I've got an '07 Attak GT. The wheels are fine after 2400 miles but the bearings are dry. Some are a little sloppy. My question:

Would I be alright popping the seals, cleaning the bearings with brake-clean, air-drying them, and then greasing them? OR Should I opt for new wheels that have removable bearings?

Generally, I'm not cheap about these things but it is before Christmas

Thanks

I cleaned and greased mine last year, just do like you said...pop the seals, clean and grease. Still good this year. Keep an eye on the big back idlers though you cant pop the seals on them....good for 5-6k

Thanks for the tip.

I too have one wheel that seemed awful dry when I had the sled in the garage a couple weeks ago. I'll try cleaning and greasing it as mentioned!

you can take out the seals on the sealed bearings in the idler wheels and reinstall them? i didnt realize you could regrease them.

bearing

I had three wheels that were "dry", one was locked up!!!!
Again, 786 miles, this should not be happening..................
My Dealer ordered me replaceable bearing wheels for no extra charge.
