I took an old Onan bearing and was able to easily pop out the seal. It also easily snapped back into place and seemed content to stay. Has anyone actually tried to add grease to one of the bearings this way? I'm concerned that once the bearing warms up a bit the seal may just pop out.
I seem to recall a photo somewhere, probably among Jim's photos, of an Onan running with the bearing seal removed. That would be OK for bench testing but probably not for normal use unless you fabricated a dust cover for it, however rear clearance in the Onan compartment is very tight. Has anyone done that?
