Repacking Misumi Bearings .. Replacing the factory oil
In prepping the bearings for a new build, I understand that I need to replace the Misumi factory oil with Super-lube.
Found this nozzle for the super-lube on Thingiverse for the repacking:
Was planning on soaking the bearings in IPA first and then repacking grease link in the following video.

Does this all sound reasonable?

SuperLube? Misumi recommends lithium based greases.
Lol. I use SuperLube, and have for the last three bearing changes. But I will be switching to a white lithium the next go around because I am also switching to higher precision ground bearings and rods. Figure I'll follow Misumi's recommendation this time

@tim-2
Both greases work. I have not found a huge difference, but I have always felt you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations but especially during the warrantee phase.
