you know how some bearings have a metal case that can't be remoced? well.... i have some abec 7's that i CANNOT remove the cases off, they are genuine abec and as you know, they arent removable, how do i lubricate them??? they need a lube, i have engine grease witch i usually rub straight onto the ball bearinns themselves, however i cant on these ones, how do i lube them?
ps: i dont have speed cream and i'm not buying any, its expensive and too thin, it instantly wars out wich is why i like engine lube, nice'n' thick so...... what do i do???:confused:

Most skate bearings are oil bearings. You don't put grease (the "engine lube" you're talking about) in an oil bearing. Headset bearings are usually grease bearings (at least the ones I've used all were), so using that engine grease on headset bearings is fine. Actually, I have a tub of wheel bearing grease in my car that I use for headsets. Oil bearings are faster than grease bearings out of the box but grease bearings usually wear in and get really fast and smooth over time.

Also I have no clue what "genuine abec" is.
