How to remove the linear Bearings?
Hi everyone. I forgot to grease the linear bearings during assembly. Now, after several hours of operation, the printer is making extremely loud, vibrating noises, which are clearly caused by the dry bearings.
What's the quickest way to remove the bearings so I can grease them?

why not Clean the rails then add lubricant to the rails and roll the bearings through the lubricant.

It may not be a lubrication issue, the bearings in the kit are pre-lubricated. First completely loosen the belts then loosen the four screws connecting the gantry to the linear bearings. Move the gantry front to back several times then tighten the screws. That should (in some cases) eliminate most of the noise. Also, purchase the accelerometer and then run phase stepping calibration. That should also eliminate a lot of noise.
