Bearings

I will soon be getting the kit to upgrade my mk3S+ to 4S.  To prepare I've been going through the manual for that upgrade.  I noticed that Prusa is again claiming that the bearings in the kit are pre-lubed from the factory and no additional lubrication is needed.  Given the issues I encountered with the 3S+ kit and it's bearings not actually being lubed, are the bearings now being supplied in the 4S kit properly lubed?

 You'll know for sure when the kit arrives. Anyway, get a tube of lubricant ready, I suspect you'll need it.

RE: Bearings

With the full kit you do get a tube of lubricant for applying to the extruder gears - no bearing lubricant tool is supplied however. 

Nevertheless, I found that my bearings were VERY well lubricated - a little too lubricated in fact. I had to keep wiping my rods down for a while due to the lube deposits being left on it! You'll probably see it in my build videos - either way, you shouldn't need any at all this time round.
