If the seal looks to be rubber you can carefully insert a small smooth screwdriver under the seal at the small side and it will lift out, you can clean and grease as you wish, and carefully press the seal back in. If the seal is metal, drill a 1/16" hole in it, carefull not to break the drill off in it. Squirt some grease in with a pointed grease nozzle. Now claen the area where the hole is with a degreaser and put a drop of silicone gasket sealer over the hole. If you do this before the bearing goes you can probably double the life of them------again and again. I use both of these methods, they work.
