is there any way to greasethe outside wheels like the rest of the idlers by removing the seal? it looks like there pretty much a enclosed bearing w/no way of getting to it? thanks.
 
throw them away and buy new aftermarket wheels,about 23 bucks each and make sure you buy the type with the replacable bearings
 
his suggestion is the stock wheels. i heard someone once tell me that they used a needle to inject grease n the bearing, think this would work? everyone of these da# wheels are junked and dry grease. its almost like they went 4 wheeling w/ it in the water and mud.
 
The ones I suggested don't look stock for my sled. They were stock for pre-RXes though. The ones I got did have removable bearings and did not need an extra bushing and very large washer. We are talkin' the rear axle vs an idler here. Right?

If you use a needle, you can get in there. however, it did not last very long. I suspect I was either to late or just opened the door for water.
 
yea its the rear wheels. i cleaned and regreased the center wheel as it has the removable bearing unlike the 2 outside ones.
 
Hmm, I didn't know those warped. ROCKERDAN has those, I thought he figured they were good?
 
i put some f-cat wheel on mine. bigger but no problems.
