subjected to the elements of the world. Strictly speaking water, dirt and moisture. So it s

important to have shields or seals on your bearings, but sometimes they re just not enough

protection and your bearings get corroded, so now you re going to need to clean them,

but before you can get inside to clean them, we need to know how to take off the shields

or seals that you have on your bearings, so let s take a look and see what kind of bearings

you ve got. Bearings come in three different cover types. There are rubber seals, pressed-in

rubber shields and removable metal shields held in by a C-ring. Removing rubber seals

is really easy. You just need to use a paper-clip and poke it on the inside of the inner ring

(just a little bit) and pry it out. Putting the seal back in place is just as easy just

lay it back on, top-flat, and just push around the edge until it snaps back into place. To

remove metal shields, you just need to take a thumbtack, a pin or a needle, and just stick

it into that little open area and pry it out. I m going to use the end where I can put my

pin in and poke it out. If you look really closely, you can see that the end of the C-ring

is cut at an angle. Now that I got the C-ring out, you can see how the different ends look

a lot better. To get the shield out, I just need to tap it on a surface and it ll fall

right out. To replace the shield, just slide it back on top and I m going to put both ends

of the C-ring in first, I think that s a little bit easier, and then I m going to pinch the

rest of it and just let it slide and lock into place. It s pretty easy! Rusted metal

shields (like this one) are not removable and there s little maintenance that can be

done once these types of bearings are corroded. Now that you know how to easily remove and

replace your shields or seals from your bearings, take a look at the rest of the videos on how

to clean them. It includes how to make a bearing cleaning kit and knowing what types of lubricants

and cleaners to use, so check them out! [Content_Types].xml _rels/.rels theme/theme/themeManager.xml sQ}#
