I am afraid that the bearings on the Delta bandsaw are permanently
sealed bearings. If they have reached the point that they
stopped, they are way overdue. In my opinion, you are wasting
your time trying to lube them. WD 40 would certainly NOT be my
choice.

You can get the bearings at any bearing house and probably most
auto parts stores. They shouldn't cost more than $3 each.

My bearings were frozen up again.

Even after cleaning both did not move well.

I wound up blowing them out, I can't get the dust seal off.
These are not like some bearings that allow the dust seal to be
removed.
I dumped them both in mineral spirits and they freed up, until I
blew them out. Then they were like gum again.

So I sprayed them with WD40 and am hoping for the best.

I guess I need to heat the lower one to get it off the shaft.
Can someone confirm that heating the bearing with a torch will
do that.
Or is there another way?
