Good video. I’ve done a lot of these over the years. I like your process. I’ve never tried the assembly lube. I agree the grease I’ve tried does tend to dry out (and pick up debris).
Thanks, I can't say that is a original idea a equipment dealer told me that was what one of the manufactures was recommending now. So far have had some done for over five years and haven't had to address them yet still working good.
I have never needed to replace a bearing but I did have two that came loose on the swaged in rivet and would spin on the rivet instead of the bearing. I put rivet in press with a punch and flared it a little, then tack welded to the rail and kept it from spinning been working for a couple years like that.
I’ve got a couple bad bearings. I couldn’t find replacements through Stanley (didn’t exhaust all possibilities). Bearing looks standard was going to just try and find form/fit/function equivalent. Drill out old rivet and replace with a new rivet (gotta find that too).

Have you needed to replace a bearing ?
