Do they come lubricated?

NO. At least the one I bought from SpeedPuzzles wasn't lubed. It was also a little dusty but in otherwise perfect condition.

Hello! No, this item doesn't come with lube, but a waterbased lube would be good to use if you need it! Hope this helps!

I don't recall if they were shipped with the bearings in place, but it's just a simple matter of "popping" them in

No, they do not. It is like using a flannel sheet but prevents liquids from leaking through. very comfortable

I have had a few of these fans but have never had the need to lubricate. I can't imagine lubricating could hurt.

Yes they do. However the ones I ordered arrived with a large chip out of one.

Mine have. I've never been careful with them and I have had some that were not used for a year from time of purchase.

sealed bearings. along with a "greasert" fitting to lube if ever needed again. pretty fairly smooth and strong...

Most probably come with grease but I always pump grease in just to be sure. With most things that have grease fittings, you can't get too much grease. The excess comes out the seal. That's the way you know when it's fully greased.

They have grease "zerks" so they grease themselves during use, but I greased them when I installed them just to be safe.

All three of mine came with grease fittings. As Vincent Puopolo commented, they come with sealed bearings, so I don't see the point of grease fittings. I greased them anyway, as it may help dissipate heat.

*I think* they came lanolized. Anyway, I did not! I actually never did lanolize... SSSHHHHH! Don't tell.... :P

No, they don't, but I wash them off while its warm with water and the gunk slides right off.

No, they don't. They are strong, but pliable. You will be happy if you purchase this item.

If they are the packings (O-rings), then they must be lubed and installed. They create the water barrier. I use any form of petroleum jelly to lube the o-rings. No special tools needed.

Yes they do, and be careful when you order in the heat. I am very happy with this product and would not be without.
