Bearings should be sealed on each side and if they are not sealed I would not use them.

No external seal needed the bearing is a sealed unit(no roller bearings exposed, sealed on each side). Do not remove a seal and try to add more grease.

indeed - if you plan on opening the bearing, you better order two because that one will be useless.

Our bearings are pressed in. If you're trying to push the sucker in, a lack of grease isn't yoru solution.. a 2 tonne press is

Just press it in... correctly and call it the day! Or if you're not happy with those bearings, take the p/n and go buy a higher quality bearing from a local bearing supply that may by serviced with synthetic grease! How do you know these aren't filled with synthetic grease?
