When I fitted roller bearings to my lathe I was distressed at the absence of information on pre-load. I eventually found some guidance and have had no trouble since. I note that the bearings on my lathe are much bigger than those on a typical family car, which are good for 250,000 miles with no extra lubrication.

They did not need replacing, the M300 oil seal is a open cap which allows the oil to drain directly back to the gearhead, however the seal between the cap and the headstock had a small leak which necessitated removal of the cap and that necessitates the part removal of the spindle to the right, to gain sufficient clearance to make the seal good. Original "super-gamet" bearing still in use.
