I fixed the front casters but I went ahead and bought a pair anyway, just in case. If I have to mess with ball bearings, then it usually doesn't bode well.

Don't they make casters with sealed bearings?
They are sealed. But they're so low to the ground that they pick up dirt and hair real easily, and the junk gets inside. Before you know it, the seal's popped out and the bearings are exposed. If I can get to it before the bearings start popping out, then I can clean them, lubricate them, and reseal them. But they're small and frequently shit goes wrong before I even notice it.Don't they make casters with sealed bearings?

Hold up. These aren't sealed. You have to buy those separately. And they're expensive. It's too early in the morning.

I was gonna say, if they are sealed but still getting contaminated, then there's a problem with the bearings.
Yeah the sealed ones cost about the same amount as replacing the entire caster wheel, as far as I can find. I suppose it would save money over the long haul, but since they're small, like 7/8" on the outer diameter, they're a pain in the ass to get out and get in the caster hub. I suppose I could get some and put them in as a project to save money for the future.

Sometimes convenience is worth more than saving a few buck really.
But then again, I'd have to replace the casters anyway, as the tires on them deteriorate. Either way I'm gonna be spending the money.

Exactly, more convenient just to change the whole thing.
