Sealed bearings to me are regular bearings with a metal or plastic "dust cap". That means that they will accept liquids including "Chain Lube", lube of choice for all my old bearings that haven't failed.

In a pressurized can with a plastic snooz. Stick the nozzle right at the sealing media adjacent to the inner race and give her a good squirt. I repeat several times a season. If you can do it and roll the bearing so much better. Be careful powering machinery while doing it. Great idea for the bearing. Maybe LETHAL for you.

Chain lube is made for chain drive things like motorcycles. It sticks to metal and has an excellent lubricant.

Saves a lot of worry about failures and hassle removing and replacing bearings that may just need a little rejuvenation.
