Whenever I "go through" an attachment that has "sealed bearings",,, I do lube them.
I put the bearing on the workbench, and flood the area at the seal of the bearing with synthetic 90WT gear oil.
The oil will pass the seal, and lube the bearing.
Sometimes, it takes several days for the oil to penetrate, but, it always does, eventually.
I have done dozens of bearings like this over the last 20 years,, and I have never had to replace one of these serviced bearings.
