What is the proper grease to use in this spindle?

Any multi-purpose grease will work fine. It does not need to be packed with grease. Probably 5, or 6, squirts with the grease gun is plenty.And then every 3, or 4 months.

Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your mower parts.Yes, all these answers are appropriate. All purpose grease or white lithium will work well for lubricating these spindles.

None Really, you want to use Acetone, you can buy it at any Hardware Store. Be sure to remove any removable rubber seals the bearings may have first, you can clean those with soapy water (Dawn Dish Soap), and can remove them by gently prying them with a small pocket or pen knife (kind of dull and very thin is best) pry up from inner smaller diameter ring. Further questions, feel free to call us at 510-581-8782. Best wishes, Tom Augusta - Weirdo Skateboards

Don't forget to get a can of PB baster,! It works excellent when you spray on every nut or screw and will also speed up the transfer of spindles etc. Get er done, Michele,!

Use an oil made for machine or ball bearing movement like 3-in-1 oil (comes in small container). Olive oil is not good for this purpose, as it will break down over time.

That depends on the purpose of the bearing and the environment you live in. I live down in the South where it is damp and the humidity is always lurking around. Therefore, you might want to have a grease fitting for your sealed bearings. If you are using these bearings on spindles on a lawn mower cutting deck I would definitely put grease fittings on the spindles and grease them often. Always blow your deck off with a blower, never wash your deck! Sealed bearings can be greased. On mower deck spindles with zirk fittings the seal is removed on the inside that face each other and the outside seal stays in place, therefore the grease can flow to all parts of the bearing.

Are you asking where is lubricant needed on the 4,000 PSI Whirl A Way? The only maintenance needed is hosing off after every use under the unit. Finger spin the rod with the two pressure tips. If any resistance to a fast spin use a spray lubricant like WD-40 or the like. No heavy 90 weight oil or grease.

Yes! They come with grease fittings; however, this set does NOT come with the spindles pre-greased. Make sure to grease them up before use.

Apply lubricant to the O ring (silicon grease), and this should make it easier to put it back together

The shaft of the chisel needs to be greased as it moves in and out a small amount during the chiseling action. With use, this grease becomes liquified (grease is oil mixed with soap) and runs down the shaft of the chisel. If it is only a small amount, this is the reason and it can be ignored (but grease the chisel shaft regularly when in use).

Depends on how dirty. Old grease took a Pressure washer. the other did not. Hope that helps.

I have been using Liquid Wrench, available at most hardware stores, and maybe here on Amazon too though I haven't checked. It is similar to 3-N-1, a common household light oil which I believe will work just as well. All you want is lubrication. Nothing to heavy, just a light oil to help clear the hair and let the blades slide across each other easily. I believe either oil will work just as well.

Don't use WD-40! WD-40 will dissolve bearing grease. You have some options. If your rollers are old, perhaps 10 years or more and they are steel you may want to replace them. If you want to try and re-lubricate the rollers use lithium grease. Many of them have a spray tube to help get the lithium grease on the bearings. If you decide to change the rollers it is fairly easy especially if you have room to work. I had mine changed within an hour of delivery from Amazon. You should also inspect all the cable pulleys. If you can moved or wobble them side-to-side they may need to be replaced. The entire cost of replacing my rollers and pulleys was about $35. Good luck. Don't use WD-40!

It takes what is called a pin grease gun. Part # for the grease kit which includes grease gun,oil and grease is 105-LBK1. The 105 is just the grease that IR sells. They recommend to oil it every time it is put away and to grease it every 48 hours of use or 2 times a year. Moisture from the compressed air will cause damage if it is put away wet. Grease gun is needed because the grease has to be forced from the grease fitting to the chuck.

The spindles I received did not have zirc fittings on them. Most of the time the bearings are a (s2) which means both sides are sealed. It's useless to pump grease into a spindle that has sealed bearings.

I use 3 in 1 oil myself. A good grade of gun will work also. Remember, it is to prevent rust and corrosion and help with a little bit of lubrication on the blade and sheath.

Shouldn't be a problem it is a grease about the consistency of wheel bearing grease or Vaseline.
