Hi All.

I've got a Schumacher MI2 and was wondering if anyone could help with this problem.

The bearings are the stock ones I bought the car with. The little blue protection ring on some of them got loose and disappeared. :confused: The problem I'm facing is that these bearings get full of dust really quickly and I then have to disassemble the whole thing to get them clean. :mad:

Is there anyway I could get them sealed again so they don't collect dust so quickly? (obviously without friction)

Thanks, Brakkie

If they're in a spot where you could flip them over so the side without the seal was on the inside, it would help. Best bet would be to replace them.

also the rubber sealed bearings will create a little drag, where as the metal shielded ones will spin a little free'er.
