This video shows the proper way to lubricate the deep-groove, open ball bearing before assembling a horizontal induction motor. With horizontal induction motors, we normally do this step after we've installed the bearings on the shaft, and just before we install the end brackets.

Some of what is covered includes:

•  Steps for lubricating the shaft-mounted open bearing and
•  How to lubricate the bearing housing as the last step before we put the end bracket on

Note that in this video we're lubricating an open ball bearing. But the procedure for roller bearings or grease-lubricated thrust bearings is going to be essentially the same.
