The only time I do it with Stihl, is when having the clutch off for another reason. Maybe I could just ask for a dollop of grease when at the Stihl dealer, they must have a big can of it for their own use. If I say it is for my hair, they will feel sorry for me and give me some. Not because I...

Good suggestion, I'll check it out, thanks.

I figure the heat dissipates the grease pretty quick. I never can find a high temp grease, if such exists. If Stihl wants you to grease the bearing, why the heck don't they do like Husky and put a hole in the end of the shaft with an outlet under the bearing. Being arrogant?

I never see much dirt getting down into the bearing. Not much contamination other than turning black. Maybe fairly regular cleaning helps that out?

I like to, but I don't like taking off a clutch to do it. Husky sure has a leg up on Stihl in that department. The grease seems to disappear real quick, can't help wondering if it is necessary.

I've only ever seen a bearing disintegrate from excessive heat or the bar getting terribly wracked that it twisted the whole saw up. Neither of which seems much like a firewood saw scenario. Maybe a factory defect.
