Generally people dont. They are sealed, once you can tell they need lube it's too late and your better off replacing. Getting the seals off would probably damage the seal which would let more debris in later. Fast Eddies is a well known option for complete kits

I got sand in a few of the ones that go in the axles so I sprayed it with the lube

Can't hurt to try....already got sand it so it can't get worse lol. I just know from mtn biking and automotive repairs bearings are wear items just just get replaced as they wear out. I say all this, but I have certainly re-packed bearings with grease myself many times in the past when money was tight lol

I don't lube bearings. I buy them, use them, dispose them, and buy new.

Nah the only way to do it, we are dealing with bearings that cost bugger all, it's not like they are kid starving expensive
