[Woodworkers] Lathe Bearing Help

[Ed and Deb via Woodworkers]

Are they sealed bearings?  If they are you wouldn't be able to repack them with grease,  if I have it apart I would put new bearings in. That is why you're rebuilding it anyway.

I haven't gotten the other three apart, but I am assuming they have the same bearings. I have heard that you can soak them in Kerosene and get them working just like new. Has anyone tried this?
