The sealed bearings on my pellet stove are starting to howl a little. Instead of spending the $275 for a new combustion and exhuast fan I'd like to try and lubricate the sealed bearings on the existing fan. What type of lube should I use? Was thinking either ptfe or silicone, but what would be best for higher temps?

How can you lubricate a sealed bearing without breaking the seal in some way?
Can you remove the bearings?
If so, or to answer your question properly, call Eastern Bearing...
They were in Lowell, but I think they may have moved to Manchester...lemme look.
All they do is bearings...so they will be a good place to ask.
