Hey guys,
after 4 years and over 500 days of fishing (freshwater only) my trusty Stella STL-2500HGS needs replacement of its pinion gear bearings. I ordered the original RD15860 and RD16455 bearings from a local german Shimano dealer but they couldn't tell me whether they will come pre-lubricated or were dry and needed grease/oil.
So my question is: When I receive and replace the bearings, do I need to oil/grease them and if yes, what product should I use?
I have available in my tiny shop: SHIP-O Grease, DG-1 Grease, Bantam Oil, Shimano Permalub and DG-13 Grease.
Thank you for your help!

The replacement bearings come pre lubricated from us with the open ARB type being the only exception. The bearings you need are lubricated.
