As an authorized dealer for TIMKEN bearings, we’ve encountered numerous queries regarding proper bearing maintenance. When dealing with bearings that have been contaminated by dirt or oil, the first step involves cleaning the bearing thoroughly using a suitable solvent. If you neglect to clean the bearing and apply lubrication, it may rust quickly, especially if left untreated for long periods.
For bearings with removable side covers, you can simply pop off the cover and clean the bearing using a solvent. Once cleaned, apply a fresh layer of lubricant to ensure smooth operation. However, if the side cover is not removable, you’ll need to take a more aggressive approach by prying it open. This might damage the cover, but it’s necessary to access the bearing for maintenance.
Once all covers are removed, place the bearings in a container filled with solvent and let them soak. You can also use a toothbrush to scrub away stubborn grime. Afterward, dry the bearings thoroughly and apply a high-quality lubricant like WD-40 or a specialized bearing grease. Be cautious about over-lubrication, as excessive grease can attract dust and debris.
When it comes to tools, having the right equipment is essential. For this process, you’ll need a couple of oil cans (available at gas stations for around $15 each), a non-plastic container to hold solvents, small containers for holding disassembled parts, a precision screwdriver for delicate work, and a toothbrush for scrubbing. Additionally, consider investing in quality lubricants such as WD-40, needle car oil, or specialized sprays like Dinosaur 191 and Dinosaur 192.
If your bearing is making noise or feels rough, it could be due to contamination or wear. In some cases, the bearing may have ingested sand or other particles, which can cause premature failure. If you're not meticulous about cleaning, you might risk further contamination, especially after removing old grease during maintenance.
